InfoWorld | at | by Mike
A Swedish mobile messaging company's software will be offered for integration into Microsoft Office 2003, allowing users to send SMS (Short Message Service) messages from Microsoft Outlook.
The SMS Executive product from Stockholm-based General Wireless will be included in Microsoft Office Marketplace, a listing of products and services that work with or complement Microsoft Office. General Wireless and Microsoft will work together on the offering first in Sweden, but the agreement is global and can be extended to other markets, according to a General Wireless statement released Monday. Microsoft, in Redmond, Wash., plans to release Office 2003 in the third quarter of this year.
