A member of the management team of a meetings and events agency, I was responsible for all aspects of the office technology:- On infrastructure, I was instrumental in moving all office servers, software systems and telephony system onto ‘the cloud’ ahead of an office move, thereby realising great cost savings at the new office- On internal systems, I designed and developed 5 different web applications that integrated with a core database system, allowing different user types to interoperate in real-time. This meant internal users, clients, venues, event suppliers, and accommodation guests could all access data and communicate through a central, integrated system. The role required an in-depth understanding of the end-to-end lifecycle of meetings and events, and the associated challenges of meetings and events technology. I developed strong business expertise in Strategic Meetings Management Programs (SMMP) for corporate events teams and a good understanding of global SMMP systems such as Cvent, Starcite and Arcaneo Metron, as well as UK-based systems, such as GRATIS, BookIt, Venuebase and ABC Tools.
