Chris Lindeboom, Deputy General Manager for Hotel Okura Amsterdam advised, "With MeetingMatrix we can show the event bookers in a few minutes how the banquet room would look in different settings with 100% accuracy in every detail. For example, when the booker wants to see how the Starlight Room on the 23rd floor of the hotel looks during a dinner, we can show that exactly; number of tables, what kind of linen, how the view is, etc. In case the booker wants different set-up, less tables or different linen, the system can show the new set up within seconds. Another nice feature of the software is that we can show the booker the view of the room from every seat."
