Hi Gustav,

One Note is tightly integrated with Outlook.  You can link in calendars/events, tasks, notes and have them update live, as well as share this with other users.  You can offer to share any One Note document and then the other participants can view and edit it live.  Any edits are shown with the details of who did the edit.  All this happen seamlessly.  You can work online or offline and it syncs up when you reconnect.

With the exception of Excel, I think One Note is the best productivity software that MS has ever done.  We use it every day and in many ways.  I use it for both work and personal stuff these days as well.

As simple example is you can email notes from One Note via outlook, or visa versa and store emails from Outlook into one note.  This is great for project management as I can put all the emails related to a project into a single Email Tab - and the emails are listed as pages which you can scroll thru.  Now all participants can read and access the relevant email history.

One Note also automatically does versioning backups so if you badly screw something up it is easy to back it out again and restore to an earlier version.

See the links below for more details on why One Note is super handy.

Hi Darryl

Could you shed a little light on scenarios where you combine Outlook and OneNote please?
I'm looking for ideas to use the potential of O365.

We haven't implemented much more that mail and calendar. My colleagues are very busy and are not of the "experimenting" type, so it is up to me to push these things.

True enough, but for most folks they prefer a solution where someone else does all the nuts and bolts work.  I think of it like a car.  In the early days only enthusiasts had them and the majority of folks worked on them in their own sheds - they knew the parts intimately because of this.

These days folks like owning a car, but many of them wouldn't know the first thing about repairing one (or want to for that matter) - I know folks who wouldn't even know where to top up the oil if they needed too - the mechanics are a mystery to them.  They would much rather just drive it and let the service dept take care of any issues.  Computers are rapidly approaching this sort of point for most people.  Most folks don't care or want to know about the back end magic.

Also Outlook also integrates with the other MS Office products, particularly One Note, which we use extensively - so that is a feature worth having / paying for - at least for us.

Cheers
Darryl.
