Subject: [HP3000-L] OT : I'm looking for a shared calendar solution
Hello fellow listers,
This is pretty much off-topic. I've been assigned the arduous task of
investigating a possible solution for a shared calendar application. We are
a staff of 6 persons, 1 resident (our staff assistant) and 5 more or less
mobile (including myself). We all have Windows2000 laptop PCs, with Office
2000 properly licensed and installed. We are in dire need of a common
calendar. More precisely, what we need to do is as follows :
- Each Staff Member needs to know where the other Staff Members are, at
least on a daily basis (not in real-time), whether she or he is at the
office or not.
- Each Staff Member needs the ability to update her/his calendar, and have
the updates automatically replicated to the other Staff Member's calendars.
- Each Staff Member needs to automatically obtain the agenda updates of
other Staff Members, at least on a daily basis, whether she or he is at the
office or not.
- We need a solution that is independent of our network infrastructure (our
office network is not permanently connected to the internet), and
independent of our servers. E-mail seems a convenient vehicle to transport
calendar updates to all Staff Members' calendars.
- Since we all have PCs, the solution needs to be PC-based and
server-independent.
- For practical reasons, we do not want to have more than one calendar per
person.
- And yes, price is a concern.
So far, we have investigated Outlook2000, Lotus Notes, and a few others. So
far these apps do not solve our needs, or not in a practical way. That's why
I asking all of you for new ideas.
TIA,
Christian Lheureux
