The Difficult Job Of Finding Quality Tech Support Service Online

Microsoft’s decision to end the tech support services they have been providing to XP users all these years has brought the spotlight on third party tech support service providers. It has been reported that at least a few of these tech support websites are actually scam sites masquerading as support services. Often, these scam artists imitate reputed tech service providers online and copy the look and feel of their websites with a similar sounding domain or company name.

Many such Omni Tech Support scam websites are there online and you are advised to check the authenticity of the websites before you sign up for any support service package.

Signing up for Omni Tech Support service

Officially, there is only one Omni Tech Support website online. There is also an affiliated website called Customer Focus Services. You will receive quality tech support service by signing up with any of these websites. They have hundreds of certified and experienced tech support professionals in employment and they will help you with all types of tech problems.

Any other affiliated websites you see online are more likely to be one of the Omni Tech Support scam websites mentioned above. Some users are not able to make this distinction and realise their mistake only later. Search engines like Google are regularly weeding out such scam websites from their search results. But, a few of them manage to stay on the list as a relevant search result for a brief period before they are finally detected. In the meantime, many users will fall for such tech support scams.

Third party tech support services like Omni Tech Support are lifesavers to many users, especially to those who are still using unsupported operating systems like Windows XP. Without subscribing to any such support service, the users would have to figure out how to fix the problems on their own, which is not going to be easy.

If you contact a tech support personnel for this, he will resolve the problem in the shortest time possible. He will provide you the troubleshooting steps to fix the problem yourself or send you the download link to a software fix that will take care of the issue. In some cases, it might be necessary to grant Remote Access of your system to this tech support personnel so that he can perform the complicated troubleshooting procedure himself without bothering you with the details.

Transferring Your Address Book From Lotus Notes To MS Outlook

Lotus Notes is a very popular software application used in offices around the globe for email communication, sharing documents, contacts and calendar management and essentially as a server-client application. And, in these aspects, this application is very similar to MS Outlook. So, it makes sense when some users want to transfer some of their files from Lotus Notes to MS Outlook.

However, there is no need for testing OmniTech Support help line for this purpose. You can use the Import and Export options in these two applications for transferring the files without any external help.

Migrating your Lotus Notes address book to Outlook

File transferring options are available in both these email and contact management applications. You just have to make sure that you are creating the transfer file in the correct format, one that is supported by both applications. You can use the Export options in Lotus Notes to create an export file in the Outlook-supported format and save it in a particular folder in the system.

Then, you can use the Import and Export wizard in Outlook to import this file to Outlook. This would normally work. However, many users testing OmniTech Support have reported that some of the data fields in each contact so transferred gets disorganised when migrated from one application to the other like this. This does not mean that such contacts become inaccessible or illegible. You just need to open them and organise the data fields in the data format that you are following in Outlook.

But, this would indeed be a cumbersome task if you are transferring all your contacts this way. Reorganising them in the proper data format would take up too much of your time. The best solution here is to use a software application designed for transferring such data from Lotus Notes to MS Outlook. There are plenty of such third party applications available online. As you transfer your files from one application to the other using such an application, the software will convert the data format correctly making sure that there are no errors in the transferred files like the ones mentioned above.

Lotus Notes stores its data in the NSF format (with .nsf extension), while Outlook stores them in the PST format. You need to use a data transfer or conversion tool that essentially converts NSF files to PST. If you run into any problems while using such a program, just contact our tech support personnel for assistance.
