Merging various company locations
Ørsted was founded in 2006 when a number of existing energy companies from various locations merged. This brought about a pressing need for a coordinated meeting reservation system catering to every department within the group.
Also, it was important for the company to have the ability to book meeting rooms, equipment and order refreshments in one place. Moreover, 100% integration of the calendar with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook was a key requirement, as well as the wish to have local and global support.

Improved efficiency
The company decided to implement Resource Central booking solution for Microsoft Outlook and Exchange and to collaborate with Add-On Products to develop additional functionality.
With Resource Central’s advanced booking solution, planning meetings is done much more quickly than before, leading to significant gains in efficiency. It also means that employees can do this interdepartmentally in one run in all six countries and regardless of whether they are working at home or in the office.
Also, Ørsted acquired a solution that includes support, which is something that all users and the IT department are really pleased about.

“We know that we save a lot of time when planning meetings. Now it only takes us a few extra seconds to book service when reserving a meeting room. We have around 7,000 employees using Add-On Products’ booking system, though many don’t realize it.”
