Rating: 
- Simplistic cheerleading
This book is a cheerleader for BCM.It completely omits numerous areas of discussion, most notably the serious performance issues with BCM (and of the required SQL Server Express database service).
There is no discussion of the tradeoffs of BCM versus other methods of CRM (other add-ons to Outlook, either free or commercial; stand-alone applications; and the many web-based solutions, both free and commercial).
The discussion of importing and exporting data is very superficial. ... Read More

- Just what we needed!
I was put in charge of figuring out Business Contact Manager in our office. I got this book after many fruitless attempts at the HELP tab. The first thing I tried to find out was target marketing out of Business Contact Manager and there it was, in this book. It has made the transition from ACT way easier for us.
Rating: - A good resource..
This is a very good resource to have on hand for anyone new to Outlook's Business Contact Manager.The layout is clear, important concepts are covered and there are a fair amount of screen shots.It is easy to jump to what you need.However, for something intended for "dummies," or those of us brand new to the program, they do not spend enough time on just getting started.For example, at the beginning they tell you how to create a database (yup, I need to know that).Then they jump right into importing ...

Rating: - Gets you up and running
I needed a book that would transition me from not using Business Contact Manager at all to using it in my every day routine. This book worked. The information was appropriate and presented in a logical fashion. The book was short enough that I could read it cover to cover. A good pick.
Rating: - IfYou're Jumping Ship from ACT!, this is for you !
Lon Ornstein might have co-authored a Dummies' book, but he's no dummy. His company is a well-known third-party developer of CRM enhancments - first with the ACT! product line and now Outlook 2007/BCM.Like all Dummies' books, this one is easy to read and understand, and gets right to the "meat" of using BCM. Highly recommended if you're trying to make the switch from ACT!, or if you need to extend the capabilities of Outlook 2007 for a small-midsize business.
