Advantages of a hosted meeting room booking solution

proNestor Booking is a professional event and meeting room management system available as an hosted online service. The solution can be used through a web browser and/or as an integrated part of MS Outlook.

A hosted solution for managing meeting rooms and catering orders distinguishes itself from traditional on-premise solutions by offering the customer new advantages. The hosted solution offers operational and technical advantages along with accessibility and support advantages. At last there are some advantages that customers can only gain with proNestor  Booking Online. 

Operational advantages

- No operational cost. proNestor operates the servers, obtains the necessary licenses for running the solution (server operating system, web server and database software).

- Hardware and related technical maintenance is handled by proNestor. 

Basically this means that the customer saves lots of money on IT-staff, hardware investments and software licenses. 

Accessibility advantages

- The solution is hosted 'in the cloud' (on the internet) meaning that it is accessible from anywhere and at any time using an internet connection.

- Geographically separated company sites and departments can access the solution with out having direct access to the company's local area network or windows domain.

- Several companies can share common resources. As an example companies in a shared office space can use a common hosted solution without having to compromise their individual network security.

- Companies that have outsourced the operation of their canteen, reception or facility management to third party can safely allow the supplier access to the hosted solution. Since the hosted solution resides outside the customer's local network their network security will never be compromised.
