Best Practices
Meeting Room Booking System Search: Software, Hardware, or Both?
- According to Meetio and AgilQuest, one of the major considerations before selecting a room booking software is to check whether your software solution must also use a hardware solution.
- Medium-sized companies or larger ones are known to schedule plenty of group meetings. This creates the need to dedicate a room (or more than one) simply to hold group meetings.
- Such companies are advised to look at affordable options like QR Codes or ID Screens for desks and/or meeting rooms or go for digital, interactive signs or kiosks to put outside conference rooms or in your building lobby.
- Meetio further opined that with the right mixture of software and hardware solutions, a company could optimize its limited meeting room space.
- This includes having dedicated conference terminals, in-room displays, an integrated room camera, and so on.
- Smaller companies or companies that only do occasional conferencing are advised to focus on software-based solutions.
- Having interactive hardware outside of meeting rooms and offices can be exciting but expensive and, alone, can’t provide as much value to you as software can. So, focusing on software should be the priority.
Use of space
- According to Meetio, "one should consider before buying software is how it can help you use your space more efficiently."
- Lack of sufficient spacing causes a second team to barge in and possibly disrupt a sensitive meeting. And at a bare minimum, it causes frustration and delays due to scheduling confusion.
- Good meeting room scheduling software products are said to include analytics to help manage space more efficiently. It can also help find other suitable rooms or use video conferencing so that everyone can meet in a virtual space instead.
- The right meeting room booking system will also be integrated with commonly used platforms, like Microsoft Exchange, Outlook, Teams, etc., so employees can continue to book meetings and rooms on a well-known platform.
- According to AgilQuest, the three top features of a meeting room booking system for admins are data & utilization, business rules & configuration, and implementation.
- Another important feature is analytics. This helps to determine the sales strategies, services offered, and marketing campaigns.
