Do you really want to show everything...  to everyone?

Sharing your Outlook calendar with Exchange Server used to be a matter of all or nothing. You give access to your calendar or you don't. When others have access to your Outlook calendar they can see your calendar items, all of them! Exchange GroupCalendar however allows for simple but effective rules and formatting. You can now have the software automatically publish to a central Team calendar what others need to know and keep to yourself what they don't need to know.
Share only what needs sharing, automatically, in real time, based on predefined business rules. But there's more..

Highlights

  • Selected items from user calendars may synchronize to the Public Folder Team Calendars
  • Selected items in the Public Folder GroupCalendar may synchronize back to the user calendars.
  • Create meetings without the need for attendees to accept the invitation.
  • Use categories, keywords and other properties to allow or block items for a group calendar.
  • Nothing to install on the workstations. No permissions or delegates in MS Outlook® needed.
  • Real time, server based processing without synchronization problems...
  • No SQL database server or web server needed.
  • Works with calendars from MS Outlook® / Web Access / Entourage / BES / PDA ...
  • Native Exchange Server and Active Directory integration using only the power of Exchange server.
  • Full native MS Outlook® / Exchange re-sync when disconnected laptop users reconnect.

We have been using GroupCalendar for Exchange for about 3 years now. It is a great product and works well for our needs. We use it to show when our staff is Out of Office for different reasons so that we know who is available throughout the week and month. The other key reason we use it is to track vacation time. All of the employees mark their calendar for vacation, and this information is copied to the Out of Office calendar. We have created Outlook views so that anyone can go in and see how much vacation time they have used, and our HR person can view the entire calendar at the end of the year and add up the vacation time used for each employee.

We use it as an ER Call schedule.  Our providers need to know when they are on call and also who is on call at any given time and this gives us the freedom to manage one calendar but have that calendar be seen by users all over.  We have just started using iPhones which sync with our Outlook personal calendars and because the Group Calendar items show in the personal calendars we have found the perfect solution for our ER schedule. 

Thanks for a great product!! 

 

You can have one calendar in MS Outlook® where you find the info you need instantly and be able to add to or change(*) that info.  (*) If the administrator allows you to.
Are you now opening the calendars of 10 colleagues to see what they have scheduled? You need just one consolidated overview.
Exchange GroupCalendar is the solution. Fully automatic in real time!

First, I would like to say that your application is, by far, the best exchange app that I have come across for dealing with calendars. Microsoft may have bought my house, but I truly hate the way they put things together and your app is helping me in areas that MS has dropped the ball.

For sometime now I have been trying to find a suitable calendar system for our company which would easily cope with multiple people in multiple locations connecting to our server via LAN, VPN and Terminal Services. Whilst Microsoft Outlook is a good solution for the individual, it is not easily configurable to meet group needs. I was delighted to find GC Exchange which appeared to meet our needs. Installation was easy and for my one minor query the technical support was excellent. I’m sure that we will gain great productivity from this server-side extension to Outlook.
