What is Conference Room Scheduling?
Conference room scheduling technology typically involves a combination of both hardware and software. Hardware may include room scheduling panels and hallway signs, while the software connects to business calendars and offers room analytics to business owners and anyone who needs that information.
Scheduling panels are installed outside of the conference room so that anyone passing by can see when the room is scheduled, what it’s scheduled for, and who’s participating in the meeting. Some businesses even install room availability signs in their hallways so that employees can quickly tell if a room is available or occupied.
The most important piece to conference room scheduling technology is the software that integrates with employees’ calendars. These systems integrate with popular platforms, including Outlook, Office365, Google Calendar, and more, so it’s convenient and simple for your employees to use.
Now that you understand what conference room scheduling technology is, keep reading below to learn a few of its most significant benefits.
Ensure Rooms are Used for Their Intended Purpose
To avoid a large conference room being scheduled for a meeting that only involves a small number of attendees, your IT department can set parameters for a minimum capacity in each conference room. No one will have to deal with any awkward mid-meeting shuffling to a smaller conference room to open up a bigger one for another meeting.
Change Conference Rooms with Ease
Conference room scheduling technology makes changing room bookings simple and straightforward. Employees can make a quick change through their calendars or right on the scheduling panel.
Avoid Walking into the Wrong Meeting
When you forget which conference room is holding a meeting you’re supposed to be in, scheduling technology helps you avoid having to play the guessing game. When you have scheduling panels installed outside of your conference rooms, all you need to do is walk up to the schedule and see what meetings are in progress, what the topic is, and who the attendees are.
