We're using calendar software called DigiAppz (http://digiappz.com/). We did have to install it on our web server ourselves, and we had a technical person do that for us, but once he got it set up (it didn't take him long) we've been able to configure and manage everything through the web UI since then without his help. Here's a picture of what our online calendar looks like:
http://northstaroffices.com/nso/virtual/calendar.htm We used a different web-based solution first (Hunt Calendar) which didn't require us to host the calendar ourselves. That was ok, but it didn't handle multiple rooms like DigiAppz does. The DigiAppz software has worked really well for us. In addition to our customers being able to access it (with a password) from their homes or whatever, we set up a kiosk onsite so people can use it to reserve a space when they arrive at our offices. We can also use the Admin software to see how much time people have used in the office and figure out the billing. -Molly Co-owner of North Star Offices http://northstaroffices.com On Feb 1, 4:01 pm, Jerome Chang <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Kella.
