TimeBridge Adds New Collaboration Tools to Fast Growing Online Scheduling Service
TimeBridge Groups Delivers New Levels of Enterprise Collaboration
| Source: TimeBridge
SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - February 12, 2009) - TimeBridge today announced they
will be adding several new collaboration tools to
enhance the scheduling and
meeting process, including a group scheduling feature being released today
called TimeBridge Groups. This new feature enables work teams to share
their availability with each other as a group to and make finding a time to
meet and collaborate even easier.
When working on an ongoing project in a group, finding meeting times can
slow the whole process down and inhibit progress. The addition of the
TimeBridge Groups scheduling feature allows users to share their
availability with a specific group of people or work team so they can
easily see when everyone is free to meet. Similar to all of TimeBridge's
scheduling tools, TimeBridge Groups works across companies and calendaring
systems, enabling users to collaborate both inside and outside the
firewall. With TimeBridge Groups, anyone in the group can see at a glance
when everyone is available and propose meeting times accordingly, avoiding
the blind guessing and extensive back and forth that would normally take
place. Additionally the meeting organizer can add a free conference call
number to bring the team together on the phone.
"The fragmentation of the workplace that exists today makes it harder for
people to collaborate effectively and efficiently, and the annoyance of
setting up meetings often eclipses their potential value," said Yori
Nelken, CEO and founder of TimeBridge. "TimeBridge Groups is a natural
extension of our product that enables work groups to get together more
easily to discuss projects online, on the phone or in person whenever they
want, undeterred by the hassle of scheduling."
"How easily can you set up group meetings?" asked TimeBridge user, Ahmet
Alpdemir, in the title of a recent blog post on his blog, NorCal Consultant's Network. "In my case... only with one
click! Yes, it is possible with TimeBridge... You can upload your contacts
and share your calendar with those you want... If you are fed up of sending
multiple messages back and forth to set up a call or a meeting, give
TimeBridge a try."
TimeBridge's free scheduling software integrates directly with Outlook,
Google Calendar and Apple iCal, and is the most efficient way to schedule
meetings with large groups or individuals across time zones, calendaring
systems and companies. TimeBridge facilitates the entire meeting process
from sharing availability by providing users with personal availability
links, through negotiating the meeting time, to automated meeting
preparation with The Daily Brief. More than 250,000 people and 12,000
businesses are using TimeBridge to facilitate the meeting process. Register
