The Scheduling Insider

Tough times force many companies to take a serious look at enterprise-wide change. But just because the need for change is obvious doesn’t mean it’s going to be any easier to implement.

A discussion of change is relevant to this blog because Meeting Room Manager is such a powerful of a tool. We’ve learned over and over again that implementing Meeting Room Manager at the enterprise level has a profound impact on productivity - and an organization’s culture.

What brought that to mind was this article: “Change is painful, difficult, a bother and (oh, by the way) a necessity” and in particular this quote:

Jack Welch, retired CEO of General Electric, said, “I am convinced that if the rate of change inside an organization is less than the rate of change outside, the end is in sight.”

If your company or organization is trying to survive this economy by just “hanging in there,” you might reconsider that stance. A room and resource scheduling tool might not be on the top of your list of technology investments, but when you think about it, there may not be a better time than now. Your goal is to increase productivity and reduce waste – and that’s exactly what Meeting Room Manager can help you accomplish.

By the way, NetSimplicity is walking the talk. We’ve taken this time to make major improvements to Meeting Room Manager, responding to customers’ wish lists and improving its interoperability with the Windows environment. We’ll launch version 8.0 this summer, but you can get a preview of it now.
