Scheduling Woes

A familiar scenario: you are trying to find a meeting time that works across a variety of calendars and organizations. So, you log into a free online scheduling software like Doodle and set up a scheduling poll. You make several compromises in doing so:

• First, you notice several features are turned off unless you pay an additional fee.
• Second, you and your recipients are faced with an advertisement-laden webpage in which to place your votes.
• And third, this third-party application is now privy to your calendar availability.

The next time you need to set up a scheduling poll, before you turn to Doodle, please take a look at the new Scheduling Poll tool in Outlook.

This tool will address all three of these concerns, while offering a more user-friendly experience to boot.
