CalAgenda automates calendar management and meeting scheduling, while helping departments share resources like conference rooms and projectors.
There are a number of advantages to using the online calendar and group scheduling software, Oracle Calendar, part of the Oracle Collaboration Suite). The following advantages refer specifically to the CalAgenda service:
- You can access your calendar via a Web browser. Whether you're at a meeting across campus or at a conference in Europe, you can access your calendar wherever you can use a web browser.
-
You can access your calendar via a Personal Digital Assistant (PDAs). Many people now use PDAs, such as Palm™ handhelds and handheld PCs based on the Microsoft Pocket PC platform.
-
You can access other people's calendars and they can access yours. Most campus departments use the CalAgenda service, making it very convenient to schedule meetings across campus. You can also restrict viewing and invitation rights to your calendar or designate another person to handle it.
-
You can notify meeting attendees via email. You can send your invited guests, as well as people not using the CalAgenda service, all the details on that important meeting via e-mail as soon as you schedule the meeting.
-
You can access your calendar 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. The CalAgenda server is maintained by the CalAgenda service team around the clock and is only down for occasional maintenance.
-
Your department helps define the service. Your department's CalAgenda Planning Group representative helps decide how the service works, and the CalAgenda Service Team implements those decisions.
