Event Management

Event management is the application of project management to the creation and

development of large-scale events such as festivals, conferences, ceremonies, weddings,
formal parties, concerts, or conventions. It involves studying the brand, identifying its target
audience, devising the event concept, and coordinating the technical aspects before actually
launching the event.

web-based solutions, you can handle event registration ticketing, and payment handling (via
any major credit card) directly from your own website. You can then sort and manage all
event registration data online.

Calendar Applications on Cloud

 Today problem with using calendar software (such as Microsoft Outlook or Windows
Calendar) is that all your appointments have to reside on a single computer. If you
keep a personal calendar on your home PC, you can’t reference it from work or when
you’re traveling. That limits the calculator program’s usefulness.
 That’s why, instead of using a calendar that’s wedded to a single computer, many
users are moving to web-based calendars.
 A web-based calendar service stores your calendars on the Internet, where they can be
accessed from any computer that has an Internet connection. This lets you check your
schedule when you’re on the road, even if your assistant in the office or your spouse at
home has added new appointments since you left.

Scheduling Applications on Cloud

 As anyone in a large office knows, scheduling a meeting can be a frustrating
experience. Experts claim that it takes several emails or voice mails to arrange a single
meeting; a typical businessperson can spend more than 100 hours each year just
scheduling meetings.
 This web-based app takes much of the pain out of scheduling meetings, for both large
and small groups.
 The typical app requires all users to enter their individual calendars beforehand. When
you schedule a meeting, the app checks attendees’ schedules for the first available free
time for all.
 These app generates automated email messages to inform attendees of the meeting
request (and the designated time), followed by automatic confirmation emails when
attendees accept the invitation.

o Jiffle
o Presdo
