OfficeCalendar provides an easy-to-use, effective and affordable Exchange alternative to Outlook calendar sharing. Unlike Microsoft Exchange you won’t need costly hardware, software and an expensive expert to install and use OfficeCalendar. OfficeCalendar can run on your existing network and hardware on either, a peer-to-peer network or a server-based network.
If your primary requirement is to setup Outlook shared calendar and/or group calendars functionality then OfficeCalendar is most likely to be a more effective choice. OfficeCalendar’s Admin/Server component can run on any 32-bit Windows operating system including Windows XP and 2000 making it an effective alternative to Exchange Server because you won't be forced to purchase server and client licenses for Microsoft's server operating systems. However, can also operate on Microsoft server operating systems like Windows NT, 2000, and 2003 servers, but these aren't required for the server component to operate (these are required for Exchange Server to operate). This means that the software and hardware costs associated with operating OfficeCalendar are substantially less than the cost of Microsoft Exchange Server.
One of the largest hidden costs associated with Microsoft Exchange Server is installation, setup and administration. Unless your organization already employs an experienced Exchange Server administrator, you will have a pay substantial amount of money to hire someone to install and configure it for you. Plus, you will have to budget a substantial amount of money for maintenance costs throughout the year. Because OfficeCalendar is simple enough to install and manage yourself it offers you a further substantial reduction in up-front and long-term costs associated with Microsoft Exchange Server.
