Outlook add-ins
How to increase your productivity using DS Development Outlook add-ins
 Outlook add-ins overview
With an estimated worldwide base of over 300 million users, Microsoft Office Outlook is the most popular Windows email client software, for both business and personal use.
An important factor of its success relays on the ability to use 3rd party Outlook add-ins. Basically, Outlook add-ins are software programs that run inside the Outlook environment, adding new features or improving the builtin functionality of Outlook. Starting with Outlook 2000, Microsoft implemented a programming interface for coding Outlook add-ins.

DS Development Outlook add-ins - concept
All our Outlook add-ins are designed for Outlook productivity targets: no matter how you are using Outlook, we are sure one or more of our Outlook add-ins can easily match your needs, helping you to compose and manage emails faster and better.
The concept of the DS Development Outlook add-ins relays on the following real-live, common situations:
when composing emails, we all deal with repetitive blocks of email text, even if it's a greeting line, a business proposition, a set of help instructions or a simple email signature;
for various occasions, everyone has to send the same email to several people, like a business newsletter or a Christmas email;
we all have holidays: using an email autoresponder for such periods will help you stay away from your computer for a while;
upgrading your computer is likely to happen once in a while, so you need a way to migrate your contacts to the new Windows installation.
To meet such common demands, we developed a range of Outlook add-ins. Our add-ins concept is simple: make Outlook work harder for you!
