Ambassadors, LLC, (“Ambassadors”) a subsidiary of Ambassadors International, Inc., has announced the “next generation” of its meetings technology solution, Global Events Management.

The powerful new program is Ambassadors’ answer to the growing need within large organizations for systems that enable them to effectively manage and optimize their entire portfolio of meetings and events.

Global Events ManagementTM is the only system of its kind with the ability to optimize meetings and events spend, a solution that has been unavailable until recently.

Ambassadors has learned from its leadership position in the events management industry and used the “best of the best” market-proven concepts in event consolidation and measurement.

A finalist in the acclaimed 2005 EIBTM Technology Watch competition, The Global Events Management system is comprised of a multi-faceted solution offering large organizations four primary high-level benefits: control, visibility, savings, and optimization for their meetings and events operations and spending.

Jerry McGee, Ambassadors’ President elaborated, ”With better control, organizations can ensure that meetings and events programs consistently meet company standards and corporate marketing goals. Visibility enables companies to head off problems and take full advantage of opportunities, while also improving operational efficiency because the appropriate people are aware of event schedules, plans, and performance on a continually updated basis.”

McGee continued, ”Savings is the direct bottom line payoff, derived from improved operational efficiency, reduced waste and duplication, and by significant direct cost savings for eventsrelated purchasing. Finally, Global Events Management also enables companies to consistently optimize their events portfolio and spending based on consistent performance and cost metrics.”

As a full-service meeting management company, Ambassadors launched the Global Events Management concept in 2003 with two Fortune 500 implementations focused on capturing meeting and event activity, developing uniformity in the planning and approval of events and launching a groundbreaking comprehensive event measurement application.

Although the concepts within Global Events Management are consistent, the delivery has been customized to achieve cultural symmetry of terms and roles. The application on which Global Events Management is delivered, Bluedot 5.0, is a highly configurable system to enable flexibility given each client’s unique requirements.

McGee stated, “Our success is measured by the loyalty of the users of the Global Events Management system, and we are pleased that annual renewals of the system are consistently high across the board.”
