Outlook Add-in Development for Stakeholder Relationship Management

Project Overview

MetaDesign Solutions collaborated with a leading stakeholder relationship management platform to create an Outlook add-in that integrates with their cloud-based SRM system. The solution connects Outlook 365 on both web and desktop environments with the client's platform via REST APIs.

This add-in allows users to track and manage emails, update contacts, and integrate calendar events, all while securely syncing with the SRM system.

Solution Scope and Services

The Outlook add-in serves as a bridge between the client's SRM platform and Outlook 365. It allows users to manage communication and contacts effortlessly, ensuring that all engagements with stakeholders are logged in real-time.

The solution also offers attachment management, where files from emails are automatically saved to the SRM system. Users can easily retrieve these files and attach them to new emails.

Cross-Platform Outlook Add-in Using ReactJS

The Outlook add-in was developed using ReactJS, providing a responsive and smooth user experience across both web and desktop versions of Outlook 365. This cross-platform approach ensures users can manage their stakeholder data from any device.
