Description
FindTime is an add-in for use within Office 365 that helps you come to consensus on a meeting time across companies. Once you reach consensus, FindTime sends out the meeting invite on your behalf, eliminating the time consuming back-and-forth usually required to find the best meeting time. FindTime shows what days and times work the best for you and the attendees when available using free/busy data. Then you can propose your selected times to all attendees and allow everyone to vote and quickly agree on a preferred meeting time that works for everyone. FindTime then will then send out the meeting invite on your behalf to be added to everyone's Office 365 calendar.
