OOF-Enterprise - THE solution for uniform Out of Office messages.

OOF-Enterprise automatically creates company wide uniform but personalized Out of Office Messages and mail forward rules based on Outlook calendar appointments.

You want your staff to set up the Outlook Out of Office Assistant following the company policies. A standard text should be used, name and mail address of the delegate should be included along with the period of absence. Email forwarding to the delegate is also required. That was the theory ...

In real life, sometimes:

  • Users forgot to turn on the Outlook Out of Office Assistant completely
  • The Out of Office message is outdated (e.g. from last vacation)
  • Every user "invents" its own Out of Office message
  • Mail forwarding is completely missing or outdated
  • Required legal information is missing
  • The sender gets no indication of whether and to whom the mail is forwarded

Even in the unlikely case, that all your employees will follow your company-wide Out of Office message policies, you should definitely read on. With OOF-Enterprise, you can perform these manual tasks completely automatically, thus relieving your staff and increase the motivation to maintain the Outlook calendar carefully.

How does OOF-Enterprise work:

OOF-Enterprise contains two components: The Manager and the Outlook-AddIn.

OOF-Enterprise Manager

 

Manager is the "heart" of OOF-Enterprise. Use it to...

  • define, which template should be used for selected users
  • define, how Out of Office Assistant should be set automatically (on, off, on and off)
  • set interval to reset the Out of Office Assistant to send more than one Advisory message per sender
    Without OOF-Enterprise, Exchange will send only one message per sender, regardless how long the user is out of the office
  • set up central delegates and create mail forwarding for selected users in case of absence
  • set workdays, work hours and time zone for selected users
  • define, which parameter can be overwritten with users personal settings

OOF-Enterprise Manager will process these settings every day (usually during the night) via a scheduled job. Therefore it is recommended (but not mandatory) the execute OOF-Enterprise Manager on a server machine. However, it should not be installed on an Exchange server.

OOF-Enterprise Outlook-AddIn

 

The Outlook AddIn enables users to ...

  • select own delegate (independent from Active Directory) and choose, if mail forward rule should be created
  • select desired Out of Office template (if there are more templates)
  • define personal work hours (used to determine absence time)
  • select the On/Off automatic behavior
  • manually activate/deactivate the Out of Office Assistant (e.g. at noon on the last working day)

Using the Outlook AddIn is optional. All settings can be done central with OOF-Enterprise Manager. In this case, no program installation on users computer is required.
