Boardroom/Resource Booking Engine

Even the most sophisticated organizations are often challenged by how to manage their meeting rooms and hardware resources. This is because many existing booking systems are too vague, too cumbersome, or just badly implemented. Quite often, established reservation procedures are ignored, meeting rooms and technical resources (laptops, projectors, etc.) get double-booked (or booked and not used).

Implementing a usable, web-based Boardroom/Resource booking engine can make an intranet project manager into a corporate hero by replacing an inefficient, often-hated offline process.
