Availion extends reach of AvailiTime, its calendar (free/busy) sharing software

Dallas, Texas March 26, 2007 – AvailiTime, the first in internet based schedule coordination across business and network boundaries, announces the addition of Salesforce.com to its suite of available calendars including Microsoft Outlook, Lotus Notes, and Google Calendar. With this latest addition, AvailiTime sets its sights on the 646,000 subscribers of Salesforce.com as potential users of its free availability sharing service.

Since its launch in January 2007, AvailiTime has been focused on adding support for PC and web-based calendars to their availability sharing service. While the vast majority of their current user base uses Microsoft Outlook, AvailiTime regularly adds support for more calendars to maximize the social spread of the service. The next planned release will include support for the iCalendar standard, which will enable interaction with users of popular new web based calendars, such as 30 Boxes.

For many professionals, the calendar is the frontline tool used to manage day-to-day business. Any given appointment entry contains the entire definition of an event, not just time and duration, but description, location, attendees, and often private notes about the engagement. Most calendar sharing solutions go too far, sharing every intimate detail of an event, while others do not share across calendar or network boundaries. Consider Microsoft Outlook, which can share free/busy information, but effectively only with an Exchange Server, and then only with users on the local network. Most professionals meet with people outside of their organization, and while these external interactions define a company’s image in the marketplace, it is this class of meeting that is the most underserved segment of the calendar management market.

“For us, AvailiTime addressed problems that we faced every day as technology consultants.” – Joseph Hill, cofounder Availion

While traditional solutions focus on sharing or synchronizing your calendar, AvailiTime facilitates the scheduling process by giving its users tools to manage the most important component of appointment scheduling: availability.

“All we needed was a simple way to share the times that we are available with the people that we meet with. We shouldn’t be required to use a calendar that is dictated by others or change the way we use our calendar to accomplish this.” – Mark Terry, cofounder Availion

AvailiTime is a free schedule collaboration service with a set of pro features that are available for a small monthly fee. The full set of features can been found on the AvailiTime website at www.availitime.com.
