October 24, 2007, Boston Massachusetts — ARCHIBUS, Inc., the #1 software developer worldwide of real estate, infrastructure and facilities management solutions, introduces the new Web-based ARCHIBUS Reservations application in Booth #1945 at IFMA’s World Workplace annual meeting. IFMA’s Work Workplace, the preeminent professional association-sponsored facilities management conference and exposition, takes place October 24-26 in New Orleans. The ARCHIBUS Reservations application provides self-service Web-based forms and other features and analysis tools that: • Automate the room reservations and amenities management process with a Reservations Wizard and self-service Web forms to avoid double-bookings and secure right-sized rooms with appropriate amenities • Integrate with Microsoft® Outlook, Lotus Notes® and Google® Calendars for automated invitations, scheduling, and reminders to meeting participants • Facilitate reservations editing, tracking, service provider coordination, reservations analysis, and more “In a busy organization, the cost of scheduling and re-scheduling meeting time manually, or of missed meetings because of double-booked rooms or other reasons, can be significant in terms of wasted effort and lost productivity,” says ARCHIBUS President Bruce K. Forbes. A typical organization can save over $100 per employee per year through the effective scheduling of meetings and the associated meeting space resources. (When calculated at one meeting a month for which a person is waiting 10 minutes, the result is: 12 months x 10 minutes /60 minutes x $54 loaded hourly rate = $108.) ARCHIBUS Reservations’ self-service and automation features reduce administrative overhead while streamlining the meeting and amenities scheduling process. The result is a reservations system in which small details don’t fall through the cracks and where ROI is significant — and surprisingly fast. An intuitive and productivity-enhancing application, ARCHIBUS Reservations is now shipping and is implemented with ARCHIBUS Web Central for rapid deployment in organizations of any size.
