Few days ago, I register with Brainsonic a short video (in french) to present Hommes & Process and GrooveIT! for Outlook. This video is now available.

As a reminder, GrooveIT! for Outlook is an application, developed by Hommes & Process, embedded in Outlook, that allows users to send – automatically or on demand – emails, contacts, calendars, tasks and RSS feeds from Outlook to Groove workspaces. This tool allows user to go from a personal work method to a team work method, without any difficulties or data lost. Un “Must Have” for Groove-Outlook users !

For example, i will present the add-ins available with GrooveIT! for My Documents that enable to open or save Groove documents from within Word, Excel and PowerPoint…
