For a couple of years now I have been using a very nice piece of software for managing our church calendar online called Trumba. I first met the Trumba guys in Vegas we have been using their software every since to synchronize the calendar in our church secretaries calendar w/ the calendar that displays on our church website.
I got a note this morning that I knew for some time would be coming, but I honestly didn’t want to believe it. Trumba is discontinuing their calendar sync software at the end of the year. I already have in mind an alternative solution for managing our church calendar but wanted to pass along this information in case over the years I recommended Trumba to any of my clients or friends so that you would have a heads up. Here’s the email I got from Jerry Rinaldi this morning:
Dear Trumba Calendar Sync User,
This email is to remind you that Trumba Calendar Sync will be discontinued on December 31, 2008 and should be uninstalled from your computer system before that date. Starting on January 1, 2009, Trumba Calendar Sync will no longer function and if not uninstalled, may display an error message whenever Microsoft Outlook starts up.
This email is a follow up to one sent on December 12, 2007, where Trumba Corporation announced that Trumba Calendar Sync, an application that syncs the Trumba Connect service with Microsoft Outlook, would be discontinued at the end of 2008. This email is to confirm that plan remains in effect; Trumba Calendar Sync will officially be discontinued and be removed from service on January 1, 2009. If Trumba Calendar Sync is the main reason you hold a Trumba account, we wanted to give you ample notice in the event you need to find an alternative calendaring solution.
If you are in a position which requires you to move to another calendaring solution, you can export your event data from Trumba for import into other calendar products. To learn more about the formats that you can export your data in, please check our help topic on exporting.
Sincerely,
Jerry Rinaldi, Vice President of Operations
