Simplify Meeting Scheduling
Let others schedule the meetings
Don't waste time scheduling meetings over email, phone, or SMS: Save time and let others pick a suitable time from your easy to use meeting scheduler that synchronizes with your calendar.
Create multiple meeting schedulers
Create meeting schedulers for different types of meetings such as teleconferences, online conferences, lunch meetings, workshops, business meetings, etc. Having a phone call? There is a page for that. Meeting at the customer’s office? Let them propose the address. Online meeting? Everyone can join easily the same session.
Integrate live communication tools
We have full support for teleconferencing, Skype calls, Lync calls, and Google Hangouts out of the box. You can even integrate your own such as Gotomeeting or Vidyo by providing a link.
Integrate with your calendar, choose availability and make public or private
Make schedulers private or part of your public Meet Me page. Integrate your calendar and choose which calendars to use to block out your availability. Different schedulers can show availability in different ways.
Share your Meet Me page
Generate and share your personal Meet Me URL with your colleagues and customers on your email tagline or social networks. Alternatively generate a “Schedule” button to be added on your website.

Integrate Existing Services
All your meeting information fully integrated
Have you noticed that information relevant to your meeting is often hard to find and scattered across multiple applications? Take your meeting productivity to the next level by integrating meeting-‐related services such as calendars, address books, social networks, and live communication tools.
Integrate calendars
Integrate your main calendar with a single click, or synchronize additional calendars with your phone. Manage which calendars will be automatically imported.
Integrate contacts
Connect your main address book with the built-‐in address book to quickly invite participants without searching for contact details. Let participants update their own information and upload their own photo.
Integrate live communication tools
Everyone has their own favorite online meeting tool for communicating over video or audio. All the popular services such as teleconferences, Skype calls, Google Hangouts, Lync calls, and custom online conferencing solutions are built-‐in for quick and easy access with a single tap.
Export and backup meeting materials to cloud storage

Schedule Meetings on Point of Contact
Schedule meetings where your customers are
You typically receive meeting requests through email and also browse customer details on services such as LinkedIn and Salesforce. To make your life easier we added the “Schedule” button on various services so that you can quickly organize a meeting with the click of a button.
Use the schedule button on point of contact
When someone is proposing a meeting through email or on a social network chat, quickly access the “Schedule meeting” functionality in order to send the meeting invitation to the people concerned.
Integrate with CRM
Add a "Schedule" button next to a contact in your Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system.

Access Meetings While Mobile
The easiest way to access meetings on the move
Trying to find the right meeting-‐related email messages and attachments is always a pain if you are on the move: Access all your meeting-‐related data on the go and get notified of important action points regarding your previous and next meeting.
A single app to access all relevant meeting information
Remember how much fun it was to search for the meeting agenda or address with your mobile phone? No more jumping between calendar, email, contacts, and maps while navigating to that next meeting. Use a single app to quickly access all relevant meeting information.
Join teleconferences and online conferences easily
Calendar and email invitations often require you to write down the PIN code in order to access the meeting. This can be quite a hassle on the move. Tap a single button to join the meeting without remembering PIN codes or meeting addresses.
Mobile site or a native app
Access your meetings from a mobile browser for universal access or download one of the free native apps for speed and convenience.
Schedule meetings on the road
Make it easy to answer upcoming meeting requests and schedule new ones directly from your phone.

Keep Meetings Organized
Get everyone on the same page
Finding meeting attachments or teleconference numbers within your email inbox can be cumbersome: Centralize meeting information, documents, agenda, and next action points on a single page – participants will be able to access, view, contribute, and join the meeting quickly and effortlessly.
Edit agenda and action points together
Agenda is sent to participants before the meeting takes place and action points are sent afterwards as a follow-‐up.
Upload, view and comment on meeting materials
Most common document formats will show within the browser without the need for a download. Participants will be able to view the materials and provide their comments in real-‐time without sending an email or downloading a single attachment.
See who is coming
View participant profiles including a photo, contact information, and RSVP status. Export their business cards to your address book. Invite more participants with the help of the integrated address books.
Manage notifications and meeting access rights
Be in charge of the notifications sent to your participants and configure their ability to upload materials or manage the meeting.
Import and draft out meetings
Enable powerful meeting collaboration features by importing your calendar items and incoming meeting invitations. Save time by importing participants, agenda, meeting location, and materials from earlier meetings. A new meeting will remain as a draft until you are ready to send the invitations.
Schedule meetings with multiple participants
Set the time for the meeting or ask your participants for their availability for suggested dates. Automatically remind meeting participants to submit their availability.
