Google Calendar offers the essential calendar system along with additional benefits to make diary management easy and stress free.  Shared calendars are available for resources (i.e. meeting rooms) and it's easy to view multiple calendars at one time to search for availability across people, rooms and against holiday calendars.  Public calendars i.e. public holidays (see our showcase area) and world clocks are freely accessible which are both useful for project planning and meeting arangements.  

 

 

A Quick Add feature allows you to type in a simple appointment arrangement in a free-text field (e.g. Meet John at 9 am tomorrow) and have this automatically converted into a calendar entry.  There are also great gadgets available which provide handy additional features such as the "countdown to next meeting" gadget clearly displaying time until your next appointment. 

 

Google Calendar can also be integrated with Microsoft Outlook™ and is accessible on Blackberry or iPhone. 

 

Meeting organisation is no longer a chore when managed through Google Calendar.
