Sync bookings with Exchange

Exchange sync for Microsoft Exchange lets you link meeting room calendars in Exchange with rooms in Workplace and have them stay in sync with each other.

 

Synced across all devices

Exchange sync monitors both calendars and automatically synchronizes any booking made, edited or deleted, enabling users to make bookings using any Spacewell touchpoint like kiosk, app or room display.

 

 

 

Keep your trusted environment

Exchange sync has no impact your existing calendars, so users who prefer to remain in Microsoft Outlook won’t even notice the difference.

 

Touchpoints for convenience

With everything in sync, users can enjoy they preferred touchpoints whenever and wherever they are, which will positively impact the user experience.

What is the difference between Outlook and Exchange?

‪Compare it to a car engine (Exchange) and the driving seat (Outlook) itself

•The engine uses incoming fuel to power the wheel axes (like emails to a server)

•The driving seat is used to handle the engine, using the wheel, gearbox etc

 

Microsoft Exchange

 

is a software that operates on the server. It is responsible for receiving and storing the emails that are sent

Microsoft Outlook


is the user interface so users can retrieve their emails from their Exchange Server.

Both applications work together ie. one works at the server side and the other as a desktop/mobile/client side.
