This is something I would like to see implemented campus wide...I think it should be a requirement that all personnel above a certain level (I'm thinking Deans, Directors and anyone higher up) are made to use Outlook for their calendars. I schedule meetings daily for people and the number of man hours wasted in making phone calls or sending e-mails (and trying to figure out who does everyone's scheduling) are a huge waste of our dollars spent. It's a frustrating practice and it's time consuming. At least if everyone was made to use the same system I would be able to see at a glance if they might be available. Then, the confirmations could follow. But, it would be such a big help on the front end of the process.
