iPolipo Powers Automated Meeting Scheduling With Selective, Secure Online Calendar Sharing

Hosted Application Saves Professionals Over 100 Hours a Year of Phone Tag, "E-Mail Pong" - Can Pay for Itself in One Day

Bethany, Conn., May 16, 2007
Scheduling business meetings has reached new levels of automated efficiency with the announcement today of iPolipo, a subscription-based online service that dramatically streamlines the scheduling process. Professionals who typically exchange up to seven voice mails/e-mails to arrange one meeting - wasting two to three hours a week in the process - now use iPolipo's patent-pending technology to enable selective, secure sharing of their Microsoft Outlook &trade calendars and connect with colleagues and clients far more efficiently.

"Our clients tell us that before iPolipo, they were expending 100 hours a year or more on the back-and-forth process of trying to schedule one-on-one meetings," said Hari Shetty, co-founder and CEO of iPolipo, Inc. "By eliminating the phone tag and 'e-mail pong' from that process, we're enabling them to make far more productive use of their valuable time, build better client relationships, and streamline their procedures with complete privacy protection. For an executive or professional who values his time at $200 an hour, saving 30 minutes today means an annual subscription to iPolipo pays for itself by the end of the day."

"The efficiency that iPolipo lends to our business is phenomenal," said Jason Giorgio, president of Giorgio Associates, a financial advisory firm in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. "It helps us to build our calendar in such a way that it's very powerful, very organized, very efficient, without a lot of wasted time. iPolipo has the potential to save our people at least 25% of their scheduling time because it requires a lot less touches to coordinate a meeting."

"The hosted iPolipo application is easy and intuitive to use. A subscriber assigns "available" time slots to selected contacts, who are then invited to access that part of the subscriber's calendar and reserve a time slot with a single click - time zone translation is automatic. When the subscriber accepts the meeting, an automated confirmation is generated to both parties, and the subscriber's Outlook is immediately updated with the meeting appointment. The privacy of the subscriber's calendar is protected because the invitee sees only the time slots designated by the subscriber - the remainder of the calendar is never displayed.

"iPolipo has become my personal, 'virtual' admin, because people can reserve time on my schedule, and I don't need to be actively involved," said Bill Sherman, partner and VP at Intulogy, a professional services consultancy. "We're a virtual company without a central office,so we rolled iPolipo out to our team leads for internal meetings and to our sales department for client meetings. Now, anyone who wants to follow up with one of our sales people - on a proposal, for example - can instantly see their calendars."
