Google Calendar

Google Calendar helps employees organise their schedules and create and manage shared calendars with colleagues. Multiple calendars can be overlayed to view free and busy times at a glance, and the "Quick Add" feature understands natural language so you can easily create appointments by typing event information into a simple box.

Google Calendar is available from any web browser and all major mobile platforms, and can be accessed from Microsoft Outlook.

Key Benefits:

• Stay organised and on schedule
  Organise your day with Calendar and get event reminders on your phone or in your inbox. Attach files or docs to your event so you have the right materials when your meeting starts. You can automatically send invitations and track RSVP's through your email.
   
• Find time with your team
  Calendar sharing makes it easy to find time with the people you work with and the smart scheduling feature suggests meeting times that work for everyone.
   
• Publish calendars to the web
  Create an event calendar and embed it on your website or set up appointment slots so customers can choose the best time for them.
   
• Calendar on your Mobile
  Sync the built-in calendar on popular mobile phones such as Android and iPhone with your Google Calendar or access your calendar from any device with a web browser.
   
• Calendar Delegation
  If someone else helps you manage your calendar, you can make this even easier by delegating access to that person. This allows another user to create events, respond to invites and manage your schedule.
   
• Offline Support
  The Google Calendar app for Chrome lets you view your schedule and respond to invites, even when you don't have an Internet connection. Your calendar and RSVPs will be synced the next time you connect to the Internet.
   
• Work Across Time Zones
  Google Calendar makes it easy to work with people in other time zones. Features like time zone conversion makes sure your calendar time zone follows you when you travel and customisable working hours reminds your colleagues not to schedule meetings in the middle of the night.
   
• Desktop Calendar Clients
  If you use a desktop calendar application, such as Microsoft Outlook®, Apple iCal or Mozilla Sunbird, you can keep it in sync with Google Calendar automatically.
   
• Design for security & Reliability
  Google Calendar is designed for security and reliability with features like encrypted connections to Google's servers, simultaneous replicated storage for your calendar appointments, built-in disaster recovery and fine-grained sharing, which lets you share your calendar with people in and out of your organisation.
