Nuance of accordingly and request for its equivalent phrase

I’ll arrange the schedule accordingly.

The situation is I was asked to arrange a schedule to welcome a guest to our office from a US branch and I just got his preferred date and time to visit.
I was told my answer sounded a bit strange because “accordingly” is old-fashioned and too polite.

Is it true? If so, could you tell me any other suitable phrases for this situation?

Answer

Unless you are trying to make a point of being informal, there is no reason (other than it would be a shorter sentence) to drop the word. If anything you will end up sounding more professional and possibly more intelligent. Basically: it’s a perfectly everyday word, use it if you want to.
