Solving Resource Management Challenges with Calendar 365’s Resource Calendar

Image
Effective resource management is the prime requirement for any business, whether it’s staff, equipment, or facilities. This is especially important for service sectors because their resource are the product. When an IT company bills its client, it charges for its expertise and time; a healthcare facility’s medical practitioners and equipment are its service. You cannot save someone’s expertise or time for later, and if the resource is not available when needed, you lose the opportunity. This is what makes proper resource management a necessity. And, it is difficult to manage resources by yourself, especially if you don’t know where and how to begin.

How Can Calendar 365’s Resource Calendar Optimize IT Resource Scheduling and Utilization

IT organizations deal with a mess of competing demands every single day. You have staff with specialized skills, hardware that everyone needs at once, and spaces that three teams want to book for the same hour. On a typical day, developers are deep in sprint work while IT support teams are putting out fires. Project managers try to coordinate deliverables across departments as specialists run tests, maintain servers, and handle the work that keeps everything running. Servers cannot be double-booked without causing chaos, and testing devices are constantly moved between projects. Computers and IT infrastructure are shared across multiple initiatives. Conference rooms, tech labs, and meeting spaces are reserved weeks in advance. The majority of businesses handle this with a patchwork of spreadsheets and never-ending email threads. Resources get overbooked while others sit completely idle. Hours disappear coordinating who gets what, and projects slip past deadlines due to unnoticed lab re...
