Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Google Calendar across the whole organisation. It allows us to schedule internal & external meetings at convenient times for those staff members involved & easily make changes to appointments. The description allows us to include important information relevant to each meeting, including zoom links, notes about the clients' expectations of the meeting, agendas, addresses, etc.
