Pimero

Pimero is a contact list manager and appointment calendar across several computers on a network.

Features: Pimero is a solution for managing schedules as well as compiling and maintaining a list of contacts. It uses peer to peer technology to keep schedules and contact lists synchronized across a number of computers in a local network as well as through the internet. Synchronization works in both ways: a user can login at a particular computer and connecting to his/her server can synchronize the local calendar across the network (local or internet); on the other hand, if the local calendar is the one which has been updated with new appointments or contacts (such as when travelling) then this will be updated into the master schedule and contacts list. Events saved on the scheduler automatically generates reminders. The calendar also supports zoom, drag and drop, and easy search and filter to home in on exactly on the event you are looking for. In multi-user mode with peer to peer synchronization Pimero becomes ideal for synchronizing work schedules across teams or small offices, so that everybody (including telecommuters) are aware of exactly what is going on. Apart from important tasks, memos with important information can also be saved in Pimero and if required, reminders will be generated. Other features include chat capability, print center to easily print out schedules, synchronization with mobile devices, journal entries, compatibility with a number of standard formats (VCard, iCal, CSV Datei, Outlook), and a RSS feed reader.

Overall: Pimero is an excellent scheduling and contact management utility and its peer to peer synchronization make it attractive to teams as well as business executives who travel frequently and need to keep their schedule and contact lists as up to date as possible. However, the plain fact is that there are a number of free utilities that are just as good and Pimero does not give enough bang for the buck to make it suitable as a paid solution. A more attractive and intuitive interface and ability to announce calendars on the web (such as is available with Google Calendar or iCal; such as it is Pimero requires that there is Pimero installed before it is accessible by a third party user, and that means that it cannot be used to broadcast calendars over the web) would have made it an altogether more attractive solution.

Working as part of your team, Pimero is a convenient appointment calendar and contact list manager - the ideal companion for small teams and individuals. If you are on the road frequently, work with several computers or bring together several people into a team, Pimero offers you unique benefits in appointment scheduling.
With its automatic, serverless synchronisation, based on peer-to-peer technology, you need not give a second thought to how you maintain your appointments up-to-date. Every computer which runs Pimero synchronises automatically with all other computers in the network. Take your notebook with appointments and task list on trips - regardless of what you change whilst on the road, it will synchronize with what has changed in the meantime in the office or at home as soon as you re-connect to the network.
Synchronisation works in both directions. If you often work in different places, you always have access to your personal login from all computers in the network. This means that you have your information readily available - anywhere, anytime.
With its multi-user capabilities, you have the perfect tool for team-work. Display the appointments and task lists ofcolleagues, employees and friends next to one another - easily and clearly. Use the Team Meeting Finder to find available times for several users and specify who may enter and see other's information. Protect your private domain with private entries which only you can read, irrespective of any other settings.
Select between several entry categories and maintain a clear overview at all times.
Pimero places great importance on data security and automatically encrypts all transmissions. In addition, all of your personal data is stored on your PC encrypted.
