Struggling to organise your calendar with meeting requests and invitations coming from every angle? That’s where Microsoft Bookings may be able to help. In this blog, we will have a look at what Microsoft Bookings is and how it can benefit your business.

What is Microsoft Bookings?

Microsoft Bookings as the name suggests is developed by Microsoft and syncs with your Microsoft 365 system. Its main purpose is to organise your meetings and allow for people to book time in your diary to meet.

Why Choose Microsoft Bookings Over Other Scheduling Tools?

Naturally, if your business operates in a Microsoft environment, using applications such as Teams and Outlook, Bookings should be your natural first choice based on its ease of use and integrations.

Like any other application however, there are always options on the market and depending on your preferences, some may prefer another meeting management tool. Below, we have outlined the benefits of Bookings and why you should choose it as your meeting management tool.

Microsoft 365 integrations: Bookings syncs with your Teams and Outlook applications meaning that the times people can book with you are constantly up to date based on your availability.

No Extra or Hidden Costs: If you have a business Microsoft 365 licence, you won’t need to pay anything extra to use the Bookings application. This means that the tool is extremely cost effective to use if your business is already within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Automated Reminders: Due to Bookings integrating with your Teams and Outlook calendars, you will get automated reminders for any meetings you have and when new ones are booked, you will also receive reminders for these. This means that you are constantly up to date in regard to the who, when and where.

Secure Solution: Being a Microsoft product, all data is stored within your Microsoft system and held secure. This means that only people with prior access to your calendar will see when you’re booked for and with you. This also means that it is a brilliant solution for businesses with higher security requirements such as governments and healthcare firms.

Advanced Teams Integration: Bookings integrates directly with Teams. Once meetings are scheduled, users can join the video call directly through Teams rather than having to keep track of links and meeting information.

 

Is Microsoft Bookings the Right Tool for You?

If you are within the Microsoft ecosystem and rely on tools such as Teams and Outlook on the daily, there is no better meeting management tool to use than Bookings. With its advanced integrations and security, it’s the leading application in managing your calendar.
