Microsoft Bookings Solves Remote Work Frustrations

One of the Most Frustrating Aspects of Remote Work: SOLVED

Is there anything more complicated than getting a meeting booked with multiple people who have different schedules?

Ah, the good old trial and error of scheduling a meeting. Sometimes it goes back and forth for hours, or worse, days because there’s always one person who doesn’t respond until tomorrow – and they can’t make the time everyone has finally decided on. Am I right?

You reach out to all of your participants to choose a date and time. You recommend a day, but your co-worker says, “Nope, not possible, but I’m free on THIS day at this time,” and then everyone comes back asking if you can postpone until THIS day at this time.

We’ve all been there before. And more than that, we’ve all felt the frustration of scheduling a meeting. It’s even worse now that everyone is working from home, and there are important tasks, projects, and deadlines that won’t move forward until this meeting finally takes place.

There’s a better way

In the simplest terms, it’s time to use technology that does the back-and-forth work for you. There’s a fantastic service that allows your co-workers, patients, or clients to schedule a time in your calendar. You don’t even have to jump in and be involved. That’s right: you don’t need to worry about the frustration of scheduling a meeting.

Microsoft offers a solution that’s already built-in with a range of Microsoft 365 plans. It’s known as Microsoft Bookings, online and mobile application for any small businesses providing services on an appointment basis. Your customers or co-workers can schedule meetings with you with minimal effort.

How does this solution work?

Microsoft Bookings uses the data from your calendar and the individual attempting to book a meeting, to find a time and day that works for everyone involved. This approach is perfect for businesses providing services on an appointment basis, such as:

• Dental offices
• Spas
• Law firms
• Consultants
• Financial services firms
