Once upon a time I used to be a consultant and my job consisted of lots of meetings with lots of clients.
Every day, I would go to work excited but soon that would turn into frustration as finding a common free time was so hard.
Lots of phone calls or email ping-pong
Then one day digital calendars arrived.
Our calendars longed for nothing more but to meet each other but the evil IT policy kept them imprisoned within the company walls.
Then one day this magical device appeared.
It allowed us to sync our calendars with it and our calendars were finally set free from the confines of the company walls.
But despite their freedom there was still no way for them to meet as they were all so different.
Till finally our heroFoogi came to the rescue
Foogi allowed all the calendars to talk to each other, regardless of what technology they were based on.
It also allowed the calendars to merge on top of each other so that the common free times could be easily found.
And we all lived happily ever after.
So what is Foogi?Whatsapp for calendars? It allows calendars to share availabilities across any calendar technology and on any mobile platform
Meera, her company.This problem exists all over the world wherever people need to organise meetings with people outside of their company.I’m betting my money, my time and my efforts that businesses are willing to pay to get back those wasted hours
Simply put, a person gets no value from the product unless other people use it as well. As a result, she shares the product with other people.
