As you use Outlook, you will find the need to make periodic adjustments and updates to your data. Until now, performing these updates required the ability to program, and a detailed understanding of the Outlook object model; no end-user tool was available to do this effectively. Updater™ for Outlook® fills this need, allowing you to perform data manipulations on any Outlook object. Updater™ for Outlook® understands the intricacies of your Outlook data, including custom
(user-defined) fields and forms and the multi-valued Keywords data type. 
Note: This product is also available as part of the TeamScope CRM™ for Outlook® Power Pack.
