1. Advanced scheduling and reminders
Proposal for:
Meeting Manager
Advanced scheduling and reminders

2. What Does it do for us? * schedule reminders
*Automatically finds available slots in
users’ schedules for new meetings
* Makes meeting agenda visible to all users.

3. Client Requirements
* Available for many platforms, PCs, phones, PDAs, etc
* Provides reminders before meetings start.
* Allows scheduling of new meetings

4. Server Requirements * Database to keep records of all users’ schedules
* A front end for the client to hide implementation-specifics
* Does all processing for automatic scheduling.
* Easy, modern database engines do most of the work for us.

5. Client/Server Protocol
* Must provide easy extension for new features in the future.
* Client should be able to get a user’s schedule in part or full
* Client can request the time of the ‘next upcoming meeting’
* Client can send meeting schedule requests to the server.

6. Target Audience * Middle Managers * Small Business Owners
* This is a program many managers want.

7. Support * We support it, clients connect to a central server
* We charge a monthly fee to pay for the support.
* Allows meetings to be scheduled between different companies
* Eliminates the need for a protocol between servers.

8. Feasability * All required technologies currently exist
* With expanding wireless networks, assuming a client
is always connected to the internet isn’t very risky.
