It will automatically collate all your data on each customer. Emails, tasks, meeting, deals, and notes from One note are all together for you.

Working with Outlook Customer Manager

So, if there is a scheduled meeting, the links to all the emails, notes, and tasks are there, meaning you will not enter that meeting blind.
