Did you know that you can use WorkgroupShare to organize meetings in Microsoft Outlook? Our WorkgroupShare product lets users of Microsoft Outlook share their calendars, contacts, tasks and email folders with other Outlook users without needing Exchange Server, but it also contains a free/busy server. This means that you can use it to find out whether or not those people that you want to invite to a meeting already have something scheduled in their calendar at the time of the planned meeting.
Outlook's meeting scheduler lets you enter the email address of those people that you want to invite to the meeting. It then passes this information to the WorkgroupShare free/busy server. WorkgroupShare looks up this information and returns it to Outlook, causing Outlook to block out the time that is already marked as busy.
