You Perform—The Reviews Are In

Since we launched You Perform on August 18 the word has gotten out and the reviews are starting to come in. The consensus… You Perform is an "Outlook Powerhouse" and "a substantial value."

And for Sperry customers the value is even greater. You Perform regularly sells for $49.95 and includes 15 tools for an average price of $3.33 per tool. Users would pay more than $300.00 purchasing these same tools individually. Sperry Software Customers can upgrade to You Perform for only $29.95. That's only $1.99 per tool.

Two of my favorite tools in the collection are Attachment Forget-Me-Not and Reply to All Monitor. The first scans your outgoing message for words hinting at an attachment and warns you if you attempt to send one such minus a file attached. The second pops up a similar warning whenever you choose the "Reply to All" option, just in case you didn't really mean to let all 200 people going to the office holiday party know that you would like the fish, not the beef, thank you. I only hope the next version of the program has a tool that clears my Outlook calendar automatically on sunny afternoons.

What is really great is that users can get all these tools in one package, they are fully integrated into Outlook and they a very reasonably priced.

One thing that impresses me is the new add-in manager utility. You can now manage all add-ins from one screen. I think this design could teach Microsoft a lesson or two.

You Perform—an Outlook add-in powerhouse

A substantial value and a nicely integrated package for dealing with a number of issues that frustrate Outlook users.

The fit and finish and integration is outstanding, as is the documentation. At $49.95, You Perform is a great value - offering 15 tools for the price you might normally pay for two.

You Software—set up by Craig Barnes, who made a career out of selling add-ons for Adobe Photoshop and Quark XPress—has been founded to build add-ons for Microsoft applications and it has started with Outlook. You Perform adds 15 tools to Outlook, from adding all new email addresses to Contacts and automatically saving attachments to a specific folder to scheduling regular emails you need to send. It also tries to catch missing attachments, too.
