Hi Becki – at Temple University we have different room rates for different user groups. For-profits pay the max rate, non-profits pay 60%, internals pay 20%, students pay $0. Internal rates are meant to be breakeven on operating costs but we have not been allowed to increase rates for at least 10 years despite costs increasing. External rates…

Hi Allison – I would definitely be interested, also as a 7Ops user for almost 10 years and agree with you about their service! The add on would need to be less than Social Tables/Prismm though.?

Hi Jason – depending on the room in both of our Student Centers at Temple University, we have in-room PCs or smart podiums that are brought in. Those all have a a unique generic login.

Hi Lisa – we were in the same boat at Temple University a few years back. While there is an audit trail for schedulers to view it is not available to clients. However, it will show your team changes that were made and when confirmations were sent out. I could not find a security setting to allow this to be visible to clients. Ultimately,… Read more

Hi Whitney – At Temple University, we use Engage. I have been very happy with their client support:

1. Anthology Engage
2. It allows registrations, document management, rosters, elections, finance (general ledger, funding & purchase requests), and event promotion among others.
3. I’m not a huge fan of how the general ledger/accounting system is…
