Meeting Maker Introduces Meeting Maker Millennium in French
Millennium sets a new standard for calendaring and scheduling
software
Paris, France January 7, 2004 - Meeting Maker, Inc. (www.meetingmaker.com), the leader in collaborative time management solutions, introduces the next generation of calendar and scheduling software, Meeting Maker Millennium. The first release in a series of innovations from the company, Meeting Maker Millennium is shipping today in Europe, in French and English. It is designed to improve organization-wide productivity through a powerful workflow model and intuitive user interface. Meeting Maker Millennium offers industry standards such as iCalendar and e-mail integration for seamless communication with people and calendars within and outside of your organization.
"The Millennium release culminates extensive work on new
interface and Web-based architecture enhancements. We've taken the Meeting Maker
product that is so well known to those who need a robust calendaring and scheduling
solution and enhanced it to take advantage of today's computing and Internet
standards." said Margaret A. Menzies, VP of Development at Meeting Maker,
Inc. "The new look and feel of the calendar application should please traditional
users while the HTML calendar and Web Services connectivity will expand Meeting
Maker's appeal into the portal and Web-based world."
Duke University's Fuqua School of Business deployed Meeting Maker
Millennium to its user base this summer. According to Nevin Fouts, Fuqua's Associate
Dean for Information Technology, "The HTML client is a perfect fit for
our MBA population. Students can access scheduling information from Workstations
and ExpressStations located throughout our environment as well as from their
wireless laptop or tablet computer." Scheduling information is also available
for students, staff, and faculty through FuquaWorld, a state-of-the-art portal
environment. This integrated scheduling capability was enabled through advance
use of Meeting Maker's new Arrival Web Services technology.
