ATLANTA, March 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- PGi (NYSE:
PGI), the world's largest pure-play provider of collaboration
software and services, today made mobile calendaring even smarter
with its latest Agenday™ smart calendar app release,
empowering mobile workers to efficiently poll meeting attendees for
availability, schedule meetings on-the go and bring the calendar
into the wearable era with Android smartwatch integration. Agenday
by PGi was named "Best Mobile Calendar" last year by the Best
Mobile App Awards and is free for all iOS® and Android®
smartphones.
The Agenday smartwatch app helps busy workers better manage
their days—right on their wrists—and includes four unique
features:
- Meetings Watchface: With a single glance, see when you
have meetings and when you have free time, minimizing missed
meetings and late attendance.
- Running Late: Send a message to meeting attendees if
you're running behind—right from your smartwatch.
- Join Meeting: Quickly join iMeet® and GlobalMeet® online
meetings or initiate a conference call by simply tapping a button
on your watch.
- Weather Watchface: Displays the current time and weather
conditions.
Forget about time-sucking "who's available and when"
back-and-forth email chains. Instead, Agenday users can use the
exciting new Free/Busy Polling feature, which enables iOS and
Android users to see when others are free or busy and efficiently
schedule meetings on-the-go. Agenday Free/Busy Polling users
can—auto-magically within the app—find the best date and time for
meetings or events in three simple steps:
- Send the Free/Busy Poll with your available dates and
times.
- Invitees respond via email or Agenday, indicating the
date and time options that work for them.
- Click to schedule your meeting at a time that works for
everyone.
"The features in this Agenday release were inspired by our
busiest users—from CEOs to salespeople—who need to work smarter,
faster," said David Guthrie, PGi
chief technology officer. "By extending Agenday's value to the
smartwatch and adding intelligent, user-centric features like
Free/Busy Polling, the PGi Innovation Lab has once again delivered
on our promise to empower businesses and workers with the solutions
they need to drive better collaboration for better results."
