buy-in• Marketing Systems/CRM team = 2 people

with full usage of side toolbars with only IMO
Too busy, users tend to close IMO IMO not intrusive

A few more things which users are not very keen on:

3. Business address
vs
mailing address
Enough negatives!
• It has been a success!• No serious stability or speed issues• Users genuinely like it:
– Hurrah! It's in Outlook!– It's easy to use and intuitive– It's got nice features, ie Alerts, quick contact updates– It makes sense!
