WebAppoint Information

WebAppoint was acquired by Microsoft in October 2000. WebAppoint was the world's first, real-time, any-time any-place appointment scheduling ASP. Utilizing the Internet as a widely accessible platform to link between service providers and their customers, WebAppoint offered the only complete scheduling technology platform on the market. Its e-Service platform was accessible via any browser, wireless device or by calling a 24/7 interactive voice response system. WebAppoint specialized in the customized embedding of its application through licensing agreements with portals, destination sites and directories. WebAppoint's solution consisted of a distributed Internet-based appointment-scheduling network providing standard browser and wireless device access. With WebAppoint's solution, appointments were created based upon multiple criteria, including combinations of specific days/times and first available slot. Users could also search for the availability of a particular appointment based upon several search criteria, such as timetable and geographic region. Additional capabilities that were part of the service, include e-mail and voice reminders of scheduled appointments, driving directions to service providers, automatic notification of service provider events and automatic waiting list notification.
