benefits of a consistent user experience. Reservationless meetings require no previous scheduling of 
resources with the added benefit of a pre-assigned meeting ID. MeetingPlace for Outlook supports both 
of these features. 

In a Segmented Meeting Access configuration, a Windows server is placed in the Demilitarized Zone, or 
DMZ, between the Internet and the private corporate network. MeetingPlace for Outlook (4.2.7) supports 
such configurations during installation. System Managers are able to select the internal and external 
server for which URLs must be provided. Such support enables meetings held between internal users to 
remain safely behind the corporate firewall while allowing meetings with external participants to be 
attended in the DMZ.  

Modifications to the MeetingPlace tab can now be made with a single master form. These customizations 
are stored in a separate file from code data. Thus, upon upgrade, customizations are maintained while 
logic and data usage are updated. Refer to Appendix B of the MeetingPlace for Outlook SMG for 
customization rules. 

Users who are invited to MeetingPlace meetings, but who do not have the MeetingPlace for Outlook 
software, can now download the MeetingPlace for Outlook software from the MeetingPlace tab in their 
notification 

A database is kept on the MeetingPlace for Outlook gateway machine to meet increased performance 
needs. This dismisses the product’s need to query the Exchange server to find existing meetings.  

Users with the Japanese language option will receive notifications with Japanese characters.
