I am not sure what clockwise is doing, but since calendar was mentionned, basically you need to break into M365, and for most entreprises, why acquiring another tool to manage calendars.

I happened to work for such companies, and the "application owner", and I am really not convinced by the ROI.

The real reason, VIPs didn't want to bother with a computer to manage their calendar, and they (well their assistants) had to organize meetings with 3rd parties.

A VIPs calendar is the most precious resource in a company; such that they're willing to pay $100k a year to manage it alone.

You have to be very good to get them to even try.

Oh I know well the analytics of these costs, but you are incorrect on the very good part...
