CI-Out-of-Office Manager for Microsoft Exchange

The CI Out-of-Office Manager gives you perfect control over absence notifications, email forwarding to substitutes, etc. for Outlook, Exchange and Office 365. Exchange absence notifications can be managed centrally in a standardized manner and even in multiple languages. Different processes, functions and layouts for groups or individual users can be customized by setting parameters.

Advantages of CI-Out-of-Office Manager

• Ensuring a corporate identity-compliant appearance towards customers and business partners in absence notes
• No more individual absence notes for employees
• Time and cost savings through central management and control
• Data protection-compliant and "works council-friendly" access to employees' absence settings

With the CI-Out of Office Manager, assigned users, e.g. in the HR office, can carry out these tasks centrally, quickly and easily in a clearly structured software. Naturally with access to the user's appointment data. The user can enter his appointments in advance and an absence for e.g. vacation, training - including setting a forwarding - will no longer be forgotten in the future.

The HR office can also ensure that absence notifications are sent in the event of company vacations, for example. Employees with the appropriate authorization can check whether a particular employee is on site or reported as absent. If an employee leaves the company, reliable e-mail forwarding can easily be set up.

The appointments can also be used for other planning via database access and displayed in a public calendar in Exchange. A fully functional demo version is available.
