Microsoft® Outlook® 2010 Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 Integration

The main reason behind integrating Microsoft SharePoint 2010 content with Microsoft Outlook 2010 is that many people using Microsoft SharePoint make use of Microsoft Outlook in order to coordinate their projects. Synchronizing the libraries and lists helps in making the work more efficient even if the user is offline. Even if the user is unable to access Microsoft SharePoint site all the time, by synchronizing Microsoft SharePoint content with Microsoft Outlook the work can be done efficiently. In order to synchronize lists and libraries, an user must have Microsoft Outlook 2010 installed in the system. Also, the user must have the permission to collaborate lists and libraries. Microsoft SharePoint 2010 has task list, contact list and library. So, to integrate sharepoint content with outlook, the task list, contact list and library of Microsoft SharePoint must be integrated with that of Microsoft Outlook.
