Case Study #1

Room Reservation Calendar

Update (2/1/05): We are working on a public release of "phpRoomCal". A demo is available here

Challenge:

Princeton University's Electrical Engineering Department required an intranet calendar to reserve meeting rooms. It needed to be accessible by about 20 staff members, using multiple computing platforms.

Solution:

After evaluating available software solutions and finding them wanting, Inforest Communications developed a custom calendar script with unique capabilities.

These include:

• the ability to view and schedule multiple resources without the risk of duplicate entries;
• a dynamic table structure which displays reservation blocks relative to other events for each day;
• an intuitive interface, accessible via any standard Web browser; and
• password authentication with session management.

Results:

Our room reservation calendar was very well received by its audience of non tech-savvy users. The script is currently being readied for wider release.

"Inforest provided the exact solution we were looking for in the design of our web room reservation calendar. The interface incorporates very specific security and scheduling requirements including a feature that allows one-click scheduling of weekly or daily meetings. The best part is that the calendar is simple to use and requires little, if any, end-user training."
