Quite possibly the BEST of Outlook Mobile

I accidentally came across this new feature ( possibly ) in the past few weeks which is becoming more and more typical of the cloud features of all products, not just Office365. In fact, in the past two months, I’ve learned more about how to use my devices as powerful tools than ever! From the iPhone/iPad space bar feature to use as a mouse to this little DOOZY I’m all set for success.

Summary: Now you can view OTHER people’s calendars on your mobile device from within your Office365 subscription. We have found a way for an assistant to see your calendar up to date in real time on their mobile device. This feature hasn’t been available in previous versions and all of a sudden it seemingly worked without flaw last week. Here is how we found out and what to do.

What to do: Have your user share their Outlook calendar with you by following the steps to share. If you need help just head over to https://ryantechinc.com/portal and we’ll support you. Next, simply open the email on the mobile device you want to see another person’s calendar on that came from the sharing user and click on “open calendar” which will attach that person’s calendar to your mobile device. This is device specific so in my case I had to open the email from my phone, my iPad and a tablet I carry at different times in order for it to be sync’d across all my devices.

This has worked across Outlook for desktop on Mac and PC for many years but it’s the first time I’ve been able to do this on mobile. It is without a doubt the most impactful positive feature that I’ve seen in years with Office365 because I literally LIVE inside my work calendar.

WIT - What you may not know about this phrase...

Wit is defined as a form of intelligent humor of course, however, the WIT I'm referring to is not that simple. It's an acronym that our partner Microsoft uses alongside many other other organizations and partners throughout the industry. This blog is all about how these "WIT" people have enabled RyanTech. W OMEN I N T ECHNOLOGY At RyanTech we've worked very hard to create an image of credibility, investment and second to none support for our customers.

Microsoft Partnering with Dominion for DMX system

When the rumors became reality this morning about Dominion releasing a DMS at NADA this year I was delighted! I had multiple people email me, call me, tweet and even text me asking if we knew about the "BIG NEWS!" and they all asked how I feel about it. And then I read Ralph Paglia's post. What an absolute pollution of the industry some posts have become and this one in my humble opinion tops the list as the most poorly written blog post in history. If you're going to get all emotional and sprinkle the internet with your bathroom opinions, do it there. Why would I say something this bold? Allow me a moment to explain the reality of what is going on instead of the garbage you might read elsewhere. Microsoft doesn't build DMS systems, they empower their partners who have earned Microsoft's respect. The relationship between Microsoft and Dominion is simple, Dominion is a member of the Microsoft Partner Network. This means that Do...

When Partners Partner

* When Partners Partner, great things happen. Such is the case for RyanTech and eLeaderTech. Microsoft Partner eLeaderTech, located in Salt Lake City, UT had been developing a product called Executing the Standards, a.k.a. "ETS", for over 3 years. In their attempt to build out the software in the .Net framework as well as many other third party objects, the system began to take a road of its own in the sense that the software almost seemed to have a mind of it's own. Due to the many different programmers and companies involved in the buildout over the years, the code had become unmanageable and the software suffered a potential self destruction. Enter RyanTech, another Microsoft Partner that had been providing ETS with Data Services through its API for a product called DMSi. The relationship between the Founder of eLeaderTech, David Ibarra, and RyanTech's Founder, Kevin McMillen started to bl...
