Sharing your Outlook calendar with Exchange Server used to be a matter of all or nothing. You give access to your calendar or you don't. When others have access to your Outlook calendar they can see your calendar items, all of them! Exchange GroupCalendar however allows for simple but effective rules and formatting. You can now automatically publish to a central team calendar what others need to know and keep to yourself what they don't need to know.
Share only what needs sharing, automatically, in real time, based on predefined business rules. But there's more..
