Web-Centric Pims
Web-Wise Pims Money Isn’t Everything When you’re shopping for an Internet-enabled PIM, price isn’t everything. Some of the lower-priced products offer some of the nicest features. Even though Internet support is important and grows more so every day, it’s still secondary to a PIM’s basic contact and schedule management features. If you have to jump through hoops to use the program locally, adding Internet connectivity won’t help. If all you need is a PIM that has the intelligence to recognize and deal with Internet e-mail addresses and URLs, any of these products will do. Not all of the products support group scheduling across the Internet, so check the features carefully if that’s one tool you can’t live without. And if you need the ability to perform interactive or real-time scheduling across the Internet, the two products to put on the scale are Campbell Services’ OnTime and Lotus Organizer 97.
