AUSTIN, TX , a leading provider of workforce management
software, today announced a significant milestone in the company's
history by signing the University of California, San Diego, as its
500th Education customer of NetSimplicity's Meeting Room Manager
scheduling software.
This strong momentum within the Education sector is based on the
proven success of Meeting Room Manager in consistently delivering
return on investment results to educational institutions. Demand
for Meeting Room Manager is driven by the urgent need within the
industry for greater efficiencies and enhanced productivity in the
scheduling of meeting rooms, classrooms and other shared resources
via web-based scheduling software.
NetSimplicity's Meeting Room Manager is one of the most widely
used meeting room scheduling software solutions in the Education
sector and is being used by school districts, colleges and
universities worldwide. These educational institutions use Meeting
Room Manager to schedule lecture rooms, meeting rooms, classrooms,
or other ancillary facilities, to provide faculty and staff the
capabilities of seamlessly booking rooms while scheduling
additional resources such as AV equipment or catering. This
automation helps education institutions to reduce their
administrative costs while increasing staff productivity associated
with the planning of meetings.
"This software provides us the flexibility we need to offer a
higher level of service to researchers by providing the flexibility
to adapt to the ever-changing demands on scheduling and tracking of
resources," said Dane Lotspeich, Coordinator of Exercise and
Physical Activity Resource Center (EPARC) at University of
California, San Diego (UCSD).
Meeting Room Manager is able to import curriculum data directly
from student information systems such as SunGard Higher Education
software. This expands the viewing capabilities of the academic
course schedules and integrates these with classes via the web. By
integrating curricular and extracurricular scheduling systems,
institutions of higher education can unlock the potential to
optimally use their facilities.
"This is an exciting time for the company," said Nancy Harris,
Chief Operating Officer at Asure Software. "This milestone is a
major achievement of which we are proud, and we are thrilled to be
working with leading educational institutions to help maximize
their available resources and positively impact their efficiency
and productivity. These institutions rely on NetSimplicity to
dramatically improve their scheduling of meetings, conferences and
additional resources."
