For consultants who carry a laptop for every client
Company 1, Company 2 and Company 3 each gave you an email address, a Microsoft 365 or Google login, and rules about what you can install. Knowing whether Thursday is free means opening four calendars.
Your challenges
Nothing can be installed
Company 1 and Company 3 block outside apps on their Microsoft 365 tenants. A request to IT joins a queue measured in weeks.
Colleagues book over you
Company 1's project office schedules through Outlook. It shows your Company 1 calendar as open on Thursday afternoon, the slot you gave Company 3 for a workshop.
Subscribed calendars go quiet
You tried subscribing each client calendar to the others. Outlook refreshes them every few hours, and nothing tells you when one stops.
One client turned publishing off
Company 1 disabled calendar publishing, so there's no subscription link to bring its meetings out either.
How it fits your calendars
Where a client blocks sign-in, your busy-only link goes into your calendar there. Outlook's scheduling view doesn't read subscribed calendars, so the email to IT is the lasting fix, and we write it for you.
Thursday, in your Company 1 calendar
What improves for you
Time
- Every client's week in one place, instead of four logins.
- One email to each client's IT, written for you.
Privacy
- Your busy-only link carries Busy and times, nothing else.
- No client sees another client's name.
Money
Every client on one plan, however many laptops you carry.
Your Thursday, after
You read every client's week from one calendar, and you know when each client last checked your availability. When the Company 3 project ends, you remove Company 3 and its meetings leave your calendar.
