Enterprise Calendaring
Need to be addressed:
Simplify the scheduling of meetings across campus; address the issue of incompatible and proprietary calendaring systems. Description:
UC Davis has no single enterprise calendaring system. Multiple proprietary calendaring systems are being used throughout campus, and these systems do not inter-operate. Staff responsible for scheduling meetings are frustrated by incompatible calendaring systems, resulting in an inconvenient and time-consuming multi-modal approach to scheduling - a combination of email, telephone, and calendaring. Standards for calendaring are emerging that will enable interoperability between calendaring systems. Standards-based solutions for calendaring are similar in spirit to email standards and will provide for an enterprise-wide calendaring service that can be accessed by standards-based calendar user agents, including Web browsers.
