Entourage - Exchange - Outlook BCM compatibility

I work in a mixed system environment with 4 Macs and several more PCs
all operating from an exchange server. The PCs will be upgrading to
Outlook with the Business Contact manager. From what I gather, the BCM
has a lot of the features of Entourage's Project Center. Does anyone
know if BCM and Entourage will be able to share "project" functionality
through the exchange server?

Currently, projects are not synchronized with Exchange. To collaborate
with others where you need to share documents and other information you
might want to look into SharePoint. Of course, SharePoint functionality
on a Mac is only basic, which means you'll only be able to upload and
download information manually.

Be sure to use the Feedback mechanism under the Help menu in any Office
application to request features you'd like to see implemented.

No, BCM does not share anything through projects. In fact, Projects share
only with other Entourage users through a third party server, and do not
interact with exchange at all, unfortunately.

If you want to see more functionality in Entourage Projects, you can send
feedback to the developers on this issue. Use the last menu item under the
'Help' menu - "Send Feedback on Entourage". This message will go directly to
the developers. The more people that request this feature the more likely it
is to be implemented.
