Calendar Browser for Microsoft Outlook
Book resources by making appointments in the Outlook Calendar
In Calendar Browser resources are stored in public folder or direct booking mailbox calendars, and users book them via their own Outlook calendars.
Each resource has its own calendar, and to book a resource you simply make an appointment in the calendar of that resource. Let all employees search among the resources and book what they need, or let a reception or booking service use Calendar Browser. Or have a combination of both!
Calendar Browser is fully integrated in the Outlook calendar. Additional services like catering services, conference material or IT equipment can be ordered with each booking. You may also tie each booked resource to a project (or a person, unit, customer etc.).
