Workspace Booking System Migration

Update your workspace booking system

OVERVIEW

Do you have a desk and room booking system that’s no longer meeting your needs?

Would you like to build on your Microsoft investment and get more out of native ‘Room Finder’ or explore Microsoft Places?

Speak to Essential about the latest technologies available and how you can migrate your existing workspace booking service to an alternative platform with minimum fuss and optimal results.

BENEFITS

The benefits of migrating your desk booking system

By upgrading your desk booking system you can address the following issues:

  • Scalability: Many workspace booking apps are great for SMEs, but can fail to meet enterprise needs
  • Platform refresh: You want to move from on-premises into the cloud
  • FM needs:  Your facilities team requires better tools for managing bookings, catering, visitors, reporting, etc.
  • Microsoft 365 Integration: You want to build on your existing working practices & investment in Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs)
  • Support: Perhaps your current solution lacks the support service levels you need to resolve issues in a timely fashion.

What our service offers:

We start with a review of your current situation:

  • Have users stopped using your system? Why?
  • Are you getting the occupancy metrics you need?
  • Perhaps you simply need to make it easier for colleagues to connect in person….

We can then recommend options for a new system, and a migration service that includes:

  • Ensuring your needs will be met by the planned new system.
  • Moving existing workspace bookings to minimise disruption
  • Using existing digital signage such as Android, iOS & Evoko to reduce costs/waste
  • Support existing Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTRs)
  • Updating or re-using floor plans to ensure the best UX
  • Providing onboarding assistance where needed.

Supported platforms

We can migrate from a range of workspace booking systems, such as:

  • Rendezvous
  • Condeco (Eptura)
  • EMS
  • Any system that integrates with Exchange

We can also build on top of your existing Microsoft room booking processes to add a range of sophisticated related services including digital signage, visitor management and other facilities requests.
