Forgent Releases New Software That Uncovers Hidden Dollars For SMBs
Small to medium-sized businesses profit from improved meeting management
AUSTIN, Texas, November 24, 2003- The frustrations associated with scheduling and managing internal meetings are growing stronger each day within many businesses. Add the negative impact on employee productivity, along with wasted dollars, and it's easy to recognize a problem just begging for a solution.
Enter Meeting Room Manager 2004 (MRM), a newly enhanced, easy-to-implement, and affordable scheduling software product just released by Network Simplicity, a Forgent Company.
Meeting Room Manager 2004 provides an easy way to schedule and manage meetings at any office over a network, Intranet or the Internet. Companies can now automate the entire process, from reserving meeting rooms to requesting equipment to sending invitations, thus streamlining what has often been an error-prone process. With MRM 2004, prior dilemmas such as double-booked rooms, services delivered to the wrong location, and time zone conversions are easily solved.
Eliminating bottlenecks, which often result when scheduling is handled in a random way by too many employees, is one of the software's primary missions. For many customers, their past inability to effectively take charge of scheduling and reservations has been problematic, often forcing critical delays in starting a meeting.
But with MRM 2004, companies can now decide who has the authority to book rooms, can get detailed information on attendees, and can track any inventory required for a given meeting, such as catering. Also, users can now start an ad hoc session via NetMeeting, and then let others join in on demand.
James Dean, Vice-President at Network Simplicity, believes many companies have yet to fully appreciate the financial benefits they could be reaping through streamlined scheduling. "Our intent has always been to help customers uncover the hidden dollars that would otherwise be lost in the maze of scheduling," said Dean. "This release expands on that commitment by adding significant new features as a direct result of customer input and requests."
Starting at a base price of $299.00, the downloadable MRM 2004 software is readily within the reach of most SMBs.
