Global meetings are on the rise making it essential for the meeting planner to have the right tools to deal with a diversity of business needs.

Announcing the Rendezvous Global Meetings Portal, the business tool that helps you organize complex multi location meetings effectively. The new Global Meetings Portal (GMP) provides an easy to use solution for many of today’s problems. Rendezvous’ GMP is based on the browser technology which is used by leading global law firms and corporations,

Designed to offer flexibility and a simple user interface, the Global Meetings Portal deals with some critical business issues:

• Time Zone management -- each property has an allocated time zone with an automated alert outside normal business hours, so scheduling a meeting at an inappropriate time is eliminated.

• Scheduling Flexibility – you may need a fully serviced room in New York but do you really want to worry about catering in Hong Kong? If not, the Global Meetings Portal will allow you to select the booking rules by location and alert relevant staff instantly by e-mail.

• Meeting Details Management – organizing a multi country meeting frequently requires a host of very detailed arrangements, from the video conference technology to meeting invitations. With Rendezvous, all of these details are made easy to organize, based on “business rules” which are set up as part of the booking process as well as the automated communication to all the participants involved with the meeting.

• Recurring Meetings – dealing with room and resource availability for multi-location meetings can be very complex, involving many phone calls and emails. The Rendezvous Global Meetings Portal removes the complexity from this process. The GMP performs multi location searches across your preferred dates (in the background) therefore enabling you to book complex meetings exceptionally fast!

The Rendezvous Global Meetings Portal is a significant step forward for multi office meeting management. It will transform the way in which complex meetings can be arranged and managed, making a complex process easy to deal with.
