First thing you need to do is find out what you were asked to do. Do
they want to send email back and forth? Do they want to share
calendars? contact? notes? journal? All of the above?

If you just need to send email back and forth all you need is a mail
service. I imagine you already have one since you were able to post
your question.

If you need to share calendars, contacts, etc. in MS Outlook I'm
afraid you are (almost completely) out of luck. There are a few
applications under development target at that functionality
(OpenExchange for one); but if you are stuck with MS Outlook you are
pretty much stuck with MS Exchange. Hope you have a large expense
account...
