WORLD – Expotel has launched an internal meeting room management system intended to help clients cut costs by making the best use of their own meetings space before having to use external meeting rooms at hotels or venues.
Due to go live later this autumn, the Meeting Room Management System enables clients to view availability and book rooms in any of their own premises through an online service or over the telephone through an Expotel consultant.
The service is intended to complement the agency’s existing audio and web-conferencing technology, which features an online meeting environment suitable for single events broadcast to a large audience, as well as focussed meetings and workshops.
Expotel’s Head of Partner Services, Mark Bevan, says: “Agencies who want their clients to remain loyal to them must pursue new ways to help save on meeting costs and the typical client could find that they can hold up to 30 per cent of their get-togethers internally.”
