PeopleCube

PeopleCube developed software for group calendaring and the scheduling of shared organizational resources. Its best-known offerings included Resource Scheduler and Meeting Maker, along with other applications serving meeting coordination and workplace planning. The product category addressed a practical problem in organizations: multiple employees needed to find common meeting times while also checking the availability of rooms, equipment, and other bookable resources. The company operated from Framingham, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Grand Rapids and Traverse City, Michigan, Tucson, Arizona, and Twickenham in London. This footprint indicates a business serving customers in both the United States and the United Kingdom, although the available reference does not provide detailed market-share, customer, revenue, or employee information. PeopleCube’s corporate history intersected with the history of Meeting Maker. Meeting Maker, Inc. originated as a spin-off from ON Technology Corporation. In 2000, ON Technology sold the Meeting Maker product line to Meeting Maker, Inc., allowing the product to continue under a separate corporate structure. ON Technology was subsequently acquired by Symantec Corporation in 2003, but the Meeting Maker business was not thereby identified as becoming a Symantec brand. On November 14, 2005, Meeting Maker, Inc. acquired PeopleCube. Following the acquisition, the buyer assumed the PeopleCube name. The renamed company consequently combined PeopleCube’s resource-scheduling software with the Meeting Maker product line, making PeopleCube the corporate identity associated with a broader set of calendaring and scheduling applications. Asure Software acquired PeopleCube in 2012. This was the last major ownership event identified in the supplied reference material. The available sources do not clarify whether PeopleCube continued as an independent legal entity, remained as a distinct product brand within Asure, or was later retired. Its current status is therefore left unknown. No reliable information was supplied about its founder, founding year, executives, financial performance, public-market listing, or current website.
