The users are already able to sync the contacts stored in their cell phones with their Outlook clients. But we also need the following: Users should be able to sync the contacts in their Outlook clients with some solution hosted by our server, so that we have a common Contacts list on the server. Ideally, this list should also be available directly to the Outlook clients or at least through some sort of interface that all users can access easily. Users should be able to separate their contacts into at least two sub-lists (e.g. Work and Personal), so that only contacts that belong to a specific list are included in the sync process between their Outlook and the solution on the server.
