Companies to offer integrated event registration and housing systems
"Our partnership with Meetingmax reflects our
commitment to providing our customers seamless access to essential, quality
solutions," says Leonora Valvo, founder & CEO, etouches.
"Meetingmax has developed a focused expertise which, in combination with
etouches, is a powerful offering."
The integration will offer event attendees a unified
online interface that will take them through the registration process and allow
them to book space at one of the event’s participating hotels. This will
eliminate the duplication of data entry and give organizers comprehensive data
and reporting capabilities.
“etouches and Meetingmax have a lot in common. We
are both young companies with intimate knowledge of what it takes to plan
events,” says Jeff Duncan , COO
Meetingmax Systems. “By working together we can enhance the way we do business
and make our clients’ lives easier by offering them a complete package.”
Interestingly, the two companies started out as
event management companies. Their founders weren’t satisfied with available
event management software solutions so they developed their own, each focusing
on different areas. With increasing interest in their software, both etouches
and Meetingmax transformed from event planning companies to software companies.
The integration was first developed for a joint
client, International Conference Services (ICS). ICS approached the two
companies to inquire about integrating their systems to allow for seamless
conference registration and housing management.
“With this integration, my team gets their dream
system,” says Mathias Posch, President, International Conference Services Ltd.
“The system will save a significant amount of staff time and will allow us to
be much more strategic with our e-marketing. For example, we can now easily
follow up with people who haven’t booked their rooms, without irritating those
who have.”
The
integrated system is available to meeting planners or conference organizers upon
request by contacting either etouches or Meetingmax.
