Technology, and email in particular, is integral in our day-to-day business processes and communication. With more to do and less time in which to do it, business professionals are always looking for ways to maximize their productivity and add hours back into their days. Why not start with Outlook — something you are already using every day?
You are probably thinking, "I use email every day. I know how to send and receive messages, how to add appointments and meetings to my calendar and how to keep a list of contacts readily accessible. What more is there to know?" Microsoft® Outlook®, one of the world's most widely used email clients, offers numerous lesser-known features and functions that can make a dramatic impact on your day and ease some of your most basic work-related frustrations.
