mostly scheduling personal schedules and resources (meeting rooms, vehicles, equipment, etc)

I'd like something that allows web-acess and is customizable to the point of controlling individual access (who sees what, who is allowed to edit, etc etc)

Team Agenda is the only software I've ever had any experience with (besides MS Exchange Server which I avoid :) )

where i work we use 2 different programs :

1.  is RESERVE (for the GM based clients) - with reserve we book conference rooms , equipment , pool cars.
heres the copy rights and company info for it.

Reserve
Copyright © 1996 - 2003 Critical Path Inc. All Rights Reserved.
This copy of Reserve is licensed to: Jones Lang LaSalle


2.  READYSOFT - SCHEDUALER  - this is for or other accounts (ie Whirlpool, Delphi) - i played with the for a few days it seemed pretty simple to use but im not too familuar with it.


Out of the 2 i like reserve the best as it a nice FINDER function.
My IT guy like the READYSOFT  program  + i think its a lot cheaper!



hope this helps. if you need more info email me.

My company uses Lotus Notes for email, calendaring, meeting scheduling, and conference room/resource scheduling.  It's nice to have it all in one product/UI and not have to bounce around.

While there is a browser interface for Notes mail, I do not have any experience with it.

Used to be that Lutus Notes was the more scalable application. I think thats what wlfgng is asking. However nowadays, you can get pretty scalable even with Exchange. You need someone who knows Exchange very well, is savy in in VB coding, and also some LDAP knowledge. Then you can do all sorts of things with your Exchange server, even make it talk to Lotus notes servers.
