Team Contacts provides a firm-wide contact list inside Outlook, that can be shared by all employees. Instead of everyone having their own contact list, each with independent copies of client's names and addresses, everyone can share the Team Contacts list. Changes made to an entry by one employee, can be made immediately available to all staff. Employees can even share a common set of notes about each entry in the contact list, ensuring everyone has access to the latest information. It also allows private notes to be kept by each person. A major benefit of Team Contacts is that each user can still use there own small group of contacts in their own folder, they don't have to work from a large public folder. Team Contacts is a component of Infoware's InControl Practice Management Software. Team Contacts enables Outlook to maintain a central Firm Contacts list, making information about a collection of contacts available to everyone. This allows a change of address for eg. John Smith by one secretary or lawyer to be distributed automatically to all people using John Smith as a contact.
