Outlook Contact Management

Essentially, the project involves tying outlook contacts to our internal SQL contact database, ensuring new contacts syncronize with the database and that contacts that might come in from palm pilots are also properly syncronized. Existing user contacts should also automatically enter into the database either as new entries, or merged records should that entry already exist. The application or outlook form should check to ensure any contact being entered into the database does not already exist. If one does appear to exist, the user should be prompted to merge their record with the one in the database. A confirmation dialog should pop-up showing the contact being entered compared to the one in the system. If it is truly a new contact, a new entry in the database should be created, otherwise the record should be merged. We have custom fields that do not have a one-to-one mapping with outlook and exchange, therefore some of the extra fields in outlook will have to be used to substitute our data into the contact form. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition a) For web sites or other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. c) Outlook form must correctly map all data fields between outlook contact form and SQL database. d) Application must work with Exchange 2000/2003 and Outlook 2000/2003 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law.
