Ideally in a workplace, there would be one platform that everyone uses to send emails, schedule meetings, sync with colleagues, and so on. However sometimes that isn’t always the case as sometimes different platforms are being used simultaneously, but the good news is that this is something that Google wants to address in the latest update to their G Suite apps.Google has announced that they will now be making it easier to manage your Google Calendar and Microsoft Exchange Server. “Once Calendar Interop is set up for your domain, end users will be able to see each other’s free/busy information across the two systems. This information will be available to users in Google Calendar’s Find a Time and Microsoft Outlook’s Scheduling Assistant. Calendar Interop works in real time and is supported on Google Calendar for Android, iOS and web.”
Basically this means that users will be able to see when others are free to schedule meetings with, and with it being supported in real-time, you don’t have to double check with your colleague as to whether or not they are free (although we suppose it would be the polite thing to do). The feature will be made available across multiple platforms ranging from desktop to mobile, with Google saying that the rollout should be completed in the next 3 days.
