Most Ambitious Release of the Global Meetings and Events Industry’s Leading Event Management Products Brings New Modules and Hundreds of New Features
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(EMWNews – July 30, 2008) – Certain Software introduces new events
management functionality to meeting professionals, event organizers and
conference planners around the world with the release of Version 11 of
eventsPro and eventsInteractive. Expanded capabilities in eventsPro, the
world’s leading event management software, cover the areas of sales and
sponsorship as well as visual table allocation, while eventsInteractive,
its online interactivity companion software, will add a survey module,
express form templates and optimized user console design.
“This release truly positions Certain as the global leader in providing
technology solutions to the meetings and events industry,” says Certain
Software’s Chief Operating Officer, Trevor Gardiner. “Version 11 of
eventsPro and eventsInteractive is our most ambitious product version
release to date, packing in many major events management and online
interactive features which our customers have been requesting.” Mr.
Gardiner was previously CEO with Amlink Technologies, whose flagship
product, eventsPro, is now part of the Certain Software product family
since Amlink Technologies merged into Certain Software in April 2008.
The Version 11 release incorporates the increasing need to put information
at event organizers’ fingertips in a central application that integrates
with other pivotal data and can be accessed via intuitive management
screens. The new modules in eventsPro and eventsInteractive are designed to
expand on event organizers’ ability to manage all aspects of any size or
shape of meeting, event or conference and leverage the advantages of the
internet.
eventsPro Version 11 includes an enhanced Sales and Sponsorship Module that
enables event organizers to build and customize product packages for
prospective customers or sponsors. Once the packages have been set up, it
is possible to manage and track the potential sale from initial proposal to
final confirmation. This module will also manage the delivery of the
inclusions in each package. Packages might include event sponsorship (Gold,
Silver, Bronze sponsors), bulk registrations (for example, “book ten
tickets” and “pay for eight”) or a table of ten at a function, as examples.
The Visual Table Allocation feature introduced in eventsPro Version 11 is a
visual table-planning tool. Event organizers can use Visual Table
Allocation to set up a graphical floor plan on-screen, laid out as it would
be at the actual function. The floor plan may be for a dinner or another
seated function, for example, with theater-style seating. Event organizers
can allocate attendees to specific seat numbers, with great flexibility.
The Survey Module in eventsInteractive Version 11 enables event organizers
to set up online surveys and analyze the results. They can choose to send a
survey to any filtered set of records in their database or all of them. If
the respondents are already in the database, a personalized link may be
sent to them in order for their replies to be stored against their
demographics record. New respondents to a survey can be added to the
database as new records — automatic duplicate checking can be enabled for
this process. Surveys may also be anonymous. Survey Questions are stored in
a Question Library, and used multiple times in different surveys, meaning
event organizers can analyze responses to the same question across multiple
surveys.
The new eventsInteractive Site Builder is the user-friendly interface
designed to assist with the creation, publishing and ongoing maintenance of
eventsInteractive registration sites. The new Site Builder contains a
number of powerful tools and features including a wizard that walks users
through the creation of a full new website in a matter of minutes, a Style
Editor to control over all aspects of the look and feel of event websites
and a Links page that conveniently lists all the relevant web links
associated with a site created in eventsInteractive.
“The depth of functionality available across the Certain Software product
family is something our customers and the marketplace are responding to
with quite a lot of enthusiasm,” says Certain Software’s Director of
Marketing, Kimberly Enright. “On our enterprise application side, the
Version 11 release of eventsPro and eventsInteractive is a huge step in
meeting the demands of Certain’s global users across a remarkably wide
spectrum of industries and geographies.”
