Calendaring Options

At work one of the things I'm researching is alternatives to Meeting Maker. There is alot I could put in this about why I'm looking at it, but this isn't my Project Proposal. Mostly I wanted to keep some key links to other products.


One of the key factors is the rising need for mobility. Getting calendar to my Blackberry, Pocket PC, or a Palm is an easy thing on Lotus Notes or Exchange. But its a bit of a challenge from Meeting Maker. It supports Palm, and IntelliSync... but its a Sync to Outlook, then a since to your device.


Meeting Maker Intellisync - An additional product you buy per user


Exchange Resource Manager - If you do use Exchange, you will want to have improved conference room management utilizing this tool. I still want to find a way to get drinks and projector requests working through the same interface.


Sumatra - Will migrate your Meeting Maker databases to other products. Mostly Oracle Collaboration Suite and Exchange.


Manual Migration from Meeting Maker to Outlook - There is no way to import data into Meeting maker, but you can definately export your Meeting Maker calendar, and massage the data, then import it into Outlook. Outlook is very flexible for importing and exporting data in and out of.
