Case Study: Leading IT Consulting Company boosts project planning productivity with Cygnet Infotech's Outlook integration

Built Integration Tool Connecting Project Planning Software with Outlook

Cygnet Infotech worked with a leading IT consulting company in the USA that builds software and integration solutions for small businesses. The client wanted to extend a popular project planning tool by connecting it with Microsoft Outlook so end users could access tasks and perform actions from the email app they already use every day.

Cygnet Infotech delivered an integration product and Outlook add-in, supported by RESTful web services, MySQL, and Groovy, to sync project data in real time between the planning tool and Outlook. The solution enabled users to view, edit, and complete tasks directly from Outlook, improved security with role-based access controls, and was deployed in the cloud for anytime access. As a result, the client accelerated concept-to-completion, validated the product faster, and increased end-user productivity and adoption of the planning tool.
