You're looking at it the wrong way. You've got the who, what, when, where and why, but you completely missed the how. How do they manage their schedules? How do they book appointments? And how do they want to share this information? Do they use a software app installed on their machines? Does it currently support information sharing between other machines running the same software or is it completely stand alone? Are they open to the idea of moving their appointment & scheduling to a web-based solution? If the only reason they need to link up is to share those two things, then a web based solution where they simply sign on to a website would be both efficient and cost effective. They could even sell some of the hardware they don't need (like the server) to pay for it.
