Central contact management in Microsoft Teams now possible: timeghost GmbH has released a new app - timeghost Company Contacts enables companies of all sizes to easily share, synchronize, and manage corporate contacts in Microsoft Teams.

Constance, March 4, 2024

timeghost GmbH, one of the leading software developers for Microsoft Teams and SharePoint solutions in the German-speaking region, released a new app in the Microsoft Teams Store this week: timeghost Company Contacts. This app facilitates the sharing, management, and synchronization of contacts within companies.

When different departments within a company work independently and manage their own external contacts, inconsistencies can arise. Contacts maintained exclusively in Outlook by employees are not usable for the entire company, making coordinated data management and shared usage challenging.

To address this challenge, effective processes and systems for contact data management are needed. In the past, this often required the implementation of complex CRM systems, extensive employee training, and update processes.

With timeghost Company Contacts, an app has been launched that enables efficient management of contacts across the entire company. The offering is aimed at companies of all sizes using Microsoft Teams. Users have access to a central corporate address book with a simple click, facilitating seamless communication and collaboration with external contacts. Individual updates in Outlook are automatically synchronized for the entire company.

Frank Köllisch, CEO of timeghost, emphasizes the cost efficiency of the app: "timeghost Company Contacts represents the central contact management within an organization. In the past, every workstation had to be equipped with a CRM license for this purpose, and now we offer this service at a fraction of the usual cost."

CTO Marc Hochleutner sees additional benefits: "The synchronization and comparison of contact lists is a time-consuming task in many companies. Through the full integration of our app into Microsoft Teams, outdated Excel lists with contacts that need manual alignment with current data belong to the past."

A survey by the market research company Gartner in 2020 revealed that more than 70% of companies worldwide use CRM technologies. Few of them provide all employees working with corporate contacts with their own system access. For this target group, timeghost Company Contacts is an alternative and is available for free for companies with up to ten users.
