Designed to streamline the meeting planning process across the globe, Cendyn Arcaneo®, provides a groundbreaking, end-to-end, strategic meeting management (SMM) solution that serves hotels, enterprises and suppliers with equal ease.
Incorporating some of the best practices for planning, executing and measuring meetings, Metron's web-based solution allows planners to manage the meetings process in a standardized, easy-to-use format. Cendyn Arcaneo's fully integrated system also allows enterprises to finally measure the true cost of ROI for meetings, while gauging the return on objectives (ROO) as well as improved response times and compliance tracking with 360 degree visibility.
Cendyn CEO, Charles Deyo, will also announce the European launch of Cendyn Arcaneo's getplanning™ solution at the Business Travel Show, the event industry's first comprehensive digital planning and collaboration tool. This innovative event planning solution is accessible from any PC, Mac, iPhone, tablet or smartphone and allows event planners and hotel staff to access and update all event documents and information from one secure online location. This customizable project management application offers a simple and cost-effective way to organize your events from start to finish, including real-time communication between venue staff, planners and vendors.
Initial studies have estimated that companies hosting up to 1,000 medium to large events per year could realize savings of up to $50,000, based on reduction of labor and materials. In fact, getplanning™ is already making a name for itself in the hospitality industry, with hundreds of recent implementations in several major brands worldwide.
"By forming Cendyn Arcaneo® and providing the next-generation strategic meeting management solution, we are able to provide the richest capabilities to meeting planners and stake holders on a global scale," said Deyo. "Plus, we're very pleased to present the European launch of getplanning, an easy-to-use application designed by, and for, all stakeholders involved in planning an event."
