Tool simplifies Outlook/database connections

I can't tell you how many times I've looked at somebody's self-developed scheduling application and said, "Man, wouldn't it be great if this was tied to Outlook so your events would appear in the Outlook Calendar?"   Then, the person says, "yeah" and we leave it at that, never realizing the benefit of what we'd just envisioned.

Well, it's about to get a lot easier to tie your database programs into Outlook, thanks to Genius@Work's GeniusConnect, a tool that lets you trigger Outlook events based on changes that occur in your database. So you could use it synchronize two datebooks, or to trigger an e-mail notification when a new record pops into the database--say an order from your company's web site.  Check out GeniusConnect here.
