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.
Users are able to create one-time reservations or repeat reservations over time.
The planner, attendees, and facility managers are notified via e-mail. BusinessManager enables company-wide publication of the reservation and prevents double bookings. The application's use has extended beyond its original scope and is now used to schedule and manage a wide range of company equipment and facilities, including transportation and specialized computer equipment at all of the company's worldwide locations. The Implementation Implementation was by Savvion's Professional Services Group using Savvion BusinessManager. The project uses a web browser interface accessed from the company's secure intranet site.
