For those who weren't aware, we shipped a new Outlook Add-In with Connections 7 in December 2020.

What are the plans for this plugin now at HCL?
As we are waitin for updates for Outlokk Plugin, get Notes/Verse "Plugin" (better as a part of design) a proper design/upgrade asap.
Make "plug-in" to Verse, and better design og Notes plug-in, ør fullt integrator.
Giving up on the outlook plugin is like giving up on the whole connections mail platform. There is no way our management will go back to IBM Notes. Would leave IBM as a whole way before that.
Integration is really the key! We are waiting for a better integration for macOS and certainly not for the decommissioning of award-winning solutions.
I was shocked to see that it was deprecated. Integration is the key to improve adoption.
Without an Outlook plugin, chances of keeping IBM Connections in context Office 365 collaboration platform are highly decreasing. No plugin, less future
This is a no-brainer. The Outlook Plugin is helping to sell the product.
