Buy vs. Build - The Benefits of a Hosted Solution

With Internet registration becoming the norm, companies are faced with defining an online registration strategy. Typically, these strategies consist of a buy versus build decision and a subsequent hosting decision. In an effort to help companies make this decision, SignUp4 has invested countless hours in the creation and tuning of the Event Management System™. SignUp4's Event Management System™ is a hosted software solution aimed at the attendee management portion of your event. With that in mind, here are some of the factors to consider when evaluating a custom development project versus using the Event Management System™.

Passenger Number Record (PNR) Solutions

Using automation makes your travel agency more efficient and effective. The Travel Management System™ is designed to collect and deliver any information required to ensure travel plans are accurate and up to date. Using an online booking system, you can increase the number of earned free tickets and group discounts while making it easy for attendees to book their travel reservations. You will also gain valuable reporting and data mining opportunities. With all your travel information in one database, your ability to negotiate terms with vendors increases.
