Managing Phone Coverage

"I have about 50 support reps, and we've been using a central Microsoft Outlook calendar to keep track of which reps are supposed to be providing phone coverage during the day. As you can imagine, a merged calendar for 50 people can get really cluttered. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive, easy-to-use alternative for managing staffing levels?"

Have you tried Excel? You can automate it such that it can generate weekly or monthly. It can also be programmed to manage on-call (overnight/weekend) coverage.
