This privately held global software company has facilities in about half a dozen cities around the world from which they develop and support large custom and semi-custom software projects for industry and government. This software company has several divisions housed in a multi-building main campus. Conference and training rooms are shared between customer briefings, meetings, seminars, training classes, and other events. Field sales needed to plan events and coordinate bringing in customers. Local employees needed to coordinate meetings and training sessions.
Some rooms have special equipment, such as projectors, computers, and kitchen facilities.
Before implementation of the Savvion BusinessManager solution, room reservations were made manually by contacting an administrative assistant assigned to each building. The system was inefficient and error prone. The need was to simplify the process of planning and scheduling corporate equipment and facilities across the multiple divisions and locations of the corporation. The Solution Savvion BusinessManager was used to create an application that facilitates reserving of available facilities and presentation equipment. Now, the meeting organizer schedules the meeting using a web browser-based application that provides a graphical calendar interface.
