Kintera(R) Inc. announced that the company's enterprise grade service platform, Kintera Sphere(TM), now integrates with Microsoft(R) Outlook(R) messaging software. This new functionality offers nonprofits the added convenience of maintaining and updating contact information between their organization's central database and their personal Outlook applications.
The first phase of the Outlook integration enables Kintera's more than 11,000 professional users in the nonprofit sector to create a vCard in their Kintera Sphere contact database. Users can then automatically import these records to Outlook. Also starting this week, Kintera's integration to Microsoft Outlook will be available to consumers who register for a nonprofit event through the Kintera Media Network, which uses Kintera's software to run online calendars for regional and city magazine websites. Event participants will be offered the option to populate the event date in their Outlook calendars, which then can be synched with their PDA devices.
Soon to be released is Kintera's custom command bar in Outlook. Kintera Sphere users will easily batch import and export contacts between Kintera Sphere and Outlook using this new integration functionality.
Kintera's CEO Harry Gruber said, "At Kintera, our goal is to bring the most user-friendly Internet experience to the many nonprofit professionals, volunteer fundraisers and donors who use our online tools. Integrating Microsoft Outlook features offers our software users the ability to easily store their Outlook data in a centralized database for sharing with others in their organizations. Also, data collected online or from external sources, such as from our P!N wealth profiling service, can be easily transferred to personal contact databases."
