Issues with BCM 3

B

OK since someone stated that the Beta was no longer under NDA let's talk
about it.

I only wanted 2 things to make this product viable for ANY of my clients

1 sync with WM5

2 access contact data via OWA (I'm not talking about all the bells and
whistles but it should sync your contacts enough without 3rd party tools so
that your contact data was available via OWA.

Just in case someone thinks these features are UNIQUE to my environment -
read through the many posts on the web about both - I'm not the only person
wanting them.

And yes I realize CRM exists but no one wants it that I work with. They
would have bought a better known product such as Act (some of my clients did
and some bought goldmine).

I work as an IT consultant for
2 financial institusions
1 University
2 Graphics Development firms
1 Talent Agency
1 Publishing company
1 laboratory

All of them want the features of BCM but won't use it since it doesn't do
the 2 items above. I think some of them would have considered Office w/BCM
if it was less than $20 additional and included those two simple features.

Right now BCM is about as useful as *** on a Bull or that MS wonder piece
Clippy or BOB. The sad part is unlike Clippy or BOB, BCM has the potential
to actually serve a purpose.


Just my 2 cents.

Uh, the NDA is still there so let's abide by it for now. :)

So far there is only a public beta availability signup page (office preview
as they call it), but the beta is still some time away (I am not sure if I
can disclose the expected beta 2 release date).
