The Online Appointment Calendar from EGroupware as the Perfect Alternative

What makes EGroupware’s Online Appointment Calendar the perfect Google Calendar Alternative? First of all, the online diary offers a wide range of functions and is therefore much more than an ordinary planner. It is a team calendar, group planner and private diary all in one. It also enables a modern management of resources, which goes far beyond the management of personnel resources.
The calendar is linked to other online applications of EGroupware, so that a combined use with the file manager, the email client or even the address book is possible. You only need one platform that integrates all processes perfectly.

You and your team are optimally supported in scheduling. The software sends notifications of changes and reminders of appointments. It helps you find alternative appointments and, if desired, links appointments to important documents, e.g. meeting minutes or to-do lists. This way, employees can optimally prepare for an appointment. In this way, EGroupware enables stress-free and smooth cooperation throughout the entire company.

Customers already working with a previous version will discover many more highlights in EGroupware 16.1, especially better usability and functionality. The latest version has been revised and now offers a new context menu, drag-and-drop as well as a lighter design, which provides increased functionality and simplified usability. But even users who do not know the previous versions can familiarise themselves more quickly and make optimal use of the online diary right from the start.

What makes us stand out as a Google Calendar alternative?

It is the many details that make our online calendar the perfect Google Calendar alternative. Not only can you define the responsibilities of employees for work steps in the project, but you can also quickly assign appointments to other colleagues or link them to documents and addresses.

For example, if a staff member is responsible for the presentation of the project, the appointment can be created directly in the calendar of the colleague concerned. A text file with important content is simply assigned to the appointment, as is a relevant contact.
The colleague in charge of communicating with suppliers receives all appointments for this activity directly in his or her planner. The project manager can see at any time what the status of the processes is and when employees have appointments outside of the office, for example.

If a colleague is not present or if a replacement has to be found quickly due to illness, appointments can be easily adjusted. A holiday overview for all employees facilitates planning.

Common calendars, e.g. for groups such as “Sales” or “Research” can be easily realised. Views that show your own appointments at the same time as those of a colleague can be saved as favourites and are thus always available.
