British Petroleum's eastern hemisphere headquarters in Sunbury, England, had a problem using its workspace effectively. Facilities management contractor, Johnson Controls struggled to reign in five unrelated paper-based room reservation systems. Nearly 120 administrators juggled requests for more than 140 meeting rooms in 90 buildings across a 32-acre campus. Each administrator lost an hour each day coordinating schedules, settling conflicts and meeting the demands of about 3,000 co-workers and countless visitors. Johnson Controls wanted a system for BP that would make room reservation a one-step process, visible at the room and accessible from other locations, and simple to install and maintain. RoomWizard was that solution.

Bristol Enterprise Center (BEC) incubates technology-based businesses, providing mentoring and 14 office spaces to help them get established and become sustainable. Nine startups, ranging from software to scientific companies, found it difficult to share meeting spaces. People would grab rooms on an impromptu basis, causing the person who made a reservation to scramble or bump them out if no other room was available. "This was most unsatisfactory," says Peter Maxwell, incubation support manager, "especially when either party had visitors with them-very unprofessional." When Maxwell introduced RoomWizard, problems dissolved and solutions exceeded expectations.
