Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint Calendar Sync for Zaca Mesa Winery

Posted in Azure, Digital Workplace Solutions, Office 365, SharePoint

Summary

Zaca Mesa Winery wanted to move their IT infrastructure to the cloud. Microsoft’s Office 365 platform, along with Azure, was an ideal match for their needs. After migrating their email from Groupwise to Exchange Online, and their shared files to SharePoint Online, Zaca Mesa saw an opportunity to boost efficiency by having DMC implement an Exchange and SharePoint calendar synchronization solution.

Solution

Zaca Mesa is a winery that frequently hosts tastings and events. To track these events, they added appointments to a shared SharePoint calendar. However, employees associated with each event did not automatically have these appointments appear on their Outlook calendar. 

DMC implemented an automated process that checks all SharePoint calendar updates using an Azure cloud service. New events are then automatically added to corresponding employee Outlook calendars. 

As a result, communication has improved among employees, and the threat of missing appointments and double booking has been reduced. The success of this project led to continued work with the client including SharePoint business process workflow solutions and general IT support.
