The Actimind team has worked on extensions for a number of different MS Office application, but our biggest strength are plugins for the Outlook email client.

Our biggest project in that area involved a plugin designed for fast and secure handling of large email attachments. Users are provided a secure environment which allows them to send, receive, as well as store, access and manage file attachments. A number of authentication methods help prevent unauthorized access to the files and guarantee data integrity.
 

Challenges we faced

• Apply security policy defined on the server to all documents sent through MS Outlook.
• Wrap the email body with the template defined on the server while keeping the original information contained in the email unchanged.
• Extract the attachments from the emails and deliver them to the server through a separate secured channel.
• Process network connectivity errors to guarantee the delivery of the information sent to the cloud.
• A separate application launched from the Outlook toolbar for browsing through the file system directly to the cloud.
• A special function that allows saving archived emails to a custom storage.
• The SSO function for MS SharePoint integration.
• The installer that supports both interactive and "silent" installations with all required parameters taken from a central storage.

Results we delivered

• Plug-ins and add-ons for different office systems
• Seamless integration with the standard MS Outlook interface
• High quality standards and stable performance
• Data security and reliable protection from unauthorized access
