What it solves
Less "what time did we say?", more work done.
Four things a shared calendar solves for good in the team's daily routine.
One calendar for the whole team
Shared calendars: each person sees the meetings, rooms and commitments they need to see, and books without asking around by email.
Contacts always up to date
A client's details change? Update them once and they change for everyone. The company list no longer lives in scattered Excel files.
Automatic sync
Changes made on your phone appear on your computer in seconds, and vice versa (via CalDAV and CardDAV, the open standards for calendars and contacts).
No new apps to learn
Works inside the calendar and contacts each person already uses: Apple, Android, Outlook or Thunderbird.
Compatible with everything
Works where the team already works.
No new apps: calendar and contacts appear where each person already checks them.

CalDAV / CardDAV
Open protocols
It syncs via CalDAV. And that matters more than it seems.
CalDAV (calendars) and CardDAV (contacts) are the open synchronisation standards, the same ones Apple, Google and Mozilla support natively. It is not one vendor's closed technology: it is the lingua franca of calendars.
No technology lock-in
Because it is an open standard, the calendar works in any compatible app, today and ten years from now. Changing phone or software never means losing your calendar.
Universal setup
Any device with CalDAV/CardDAV support connects with the server address, username and password. On iPhone and Mac it is native; on Android and Outlook, the team will show you how.
Real, two-way sync
Not a copy or an import: creating, editing or deleting on one device is reflected on all the others in seconds, including the team's shared calendars.
No extra cost
Already included in your company email.
Shared calendar and contacts are part of every Sooma Mail plan, from Essential to Corporate. It is not a separate module, nor an extra on the invoice.

Shared calendar & contacts
The most common questions from people who organise the team.
Does the calendar work on my phone?
Yes. You set it up once (the team will help) and from then on it syncs by itself: iPhone, Android, computer, everything.
What is CalDAV and why should I want it?
It is the open standard for calendar synchronisation (CardDAV is the equivalent for contacts), supported natively by Apple, Mozilla and dozens of apps. In practice it means two things: your calendar works on any device, and it is never locked in to a provider, not even us.
Can I share the calendar with just some people?
Yes, calendars can be shared with the team.
Where are the contacts kept?
On Sooma's servers, in Europe, like everything else. Subject to the GDPR, never used for advertising.
Do I need to pay extra for this?
No. Calendar and contacts are included in every plan, at no additional cost.
A synchronised team starts with a shared calendar.
Included in every plan, from €1.50/month. 60-day guarantee.
