The Push Service is an add-on to the ResourceXpress server. It is an independent Windows Service used to update/sync booking with Exchange/O365 calendars. The benefit of using the Push Service is to reduce the number of requests made from ResourceXpress to the Exchange/O365 environment. Instead of the ResourceXpress server polling every 60 seconds any new bookings or updates are automatically pushed by
the Exchange/O365 server to ResourceXpress via a subscription.
