Introducing Oriented: The World's First Context-Aware Calendar
Oh. We did it.
Logging time isn’t fun. Don’t do it. At Pivotal, we understand the frustration of managing time and tasks in the fast-paced business world. This age-old problem, dating back to the Industrial Revolution, has plagued countless professionals for decades. The struggle to measure and optimise time and productivity is universal, and no app or system has fully solved this—until now.
The Genesis of Oriented
Oriented was born out of the need to innovate and streamline business processes. Traditional calendars, such as Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, are limited. They allow users to schedule events but fail to provide the context to truly understand and optimise schedules. Reflecting on events from months ago often leaves us puzzled. What did those meetings really entail? What was achieved? If we can't measure it, we can't optimise it.

Oriented is the world's first context-aware calendar, designed to manage and understand your schedule. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, ensuring a smooth transition for teams moving between these platforms while maintaining compliance with the robust standards of these tech giants.

Invention Of The Context-Aware Calendar
The inventor of Oriented, the world’s first Context-Aware Calendar - Pivotal founder and CEO Tait Pollack
With over 25 years of experience in software development and marketing, Tait Pollack has a deep understanding of the complexities of managing time. As a business owner, he has consistently faced the challenge of staying on top of time-logging and task reporting. Tait recognises the unique difficulties professionals encounter in the business world. As the founder and CEO of Pivotal, he has always been driven to enhance innovation and efficiency in time management. His journey through various industries—from tech to creative services—revealed a universal problem: the struggle to measure and optimise time effectively. This issue, dating back to the Industrial Revolution, remains unresolved despite numerous modern tools.
Motivated by this enduring challenge, Tait set out to create a solution that surpasses traditional calendars. He envisioned a tool that not only schedules events but also provides the essential context to understand and optimise them.
