...that's built on your investment in Microsoft

Forget data syncing!  Essential’s solution builds on your existing Microsoft Exchange and/or Office 365 infrastructure and works straight from Outlook.

Whether you book your room using standard Outlook Calendar, using an Office 365 PowerApp or our advanced resource selection add-in for Outlook, you can:

  • allow users to book additional resources, such as catering, seating layouts, parking & visitor passes
  • give facilities & other service providers a portal for managing all bookings & requests
  • use individual room screens or kiosk floor-plans to display all bookings 'on the day'

 

..and that fits your IT strategy: 

Host our solution on-premises or in the cloud - the choice is yours!  A Gold Microsoft partner with 20+ years experience, our support team can help with the  'wider' infrastructure issues you may encounter.
