You have people located all over the world. Early morning for you is late evening for some of them. And vice versa.

You need to coordinate with them, so you attempt to schedule a recurring meeting. Because everyone is spread across various countries and time zones, there is no ideal time, except for a very narrow 90-minute window at the same time each day. Sound familiar?

But wait. ALL of your teams have distributed and remote members. And ALL of them want to meet inside the same exact window of time. That means all teams are scheduling meetings at that same very narrow window of time. This of course means that when you go to book your meeting, many key participants are booked elsewhere and are unavailable.

But wait. Let’s assume you are very resourceful, and somehow DO solve solve that problem.

There’s still one more hurdle: due to everyone being spread across various countries, calendar and cultural holidays vary. Holidays in the USA are not holidays in India, for example. Cultural holidays in India are not holidays in Europe. Many holidays in Europe are not holidays in USA. In Europe, the Monday following Easter is a holiday for most people. But in USA, it is the Friday before. This means that all the meetings in that narrow 90-minute window on Friday and Monday cannot effectively happen, because key participants are subject to country-specific holidays.

As a result, the recurring weekly coordination events on Friday and Monday are cancelled.

And that means TWO WEEKS between coordination events. This is a huge problem.

The solution to this huge problem is Open At Scale’s Beacon™ product: coordination without the overhead of meetings, and the problems related to scheduling them.
