Global Law Firm Signs Up Rendezvous for New Manhattan Conference Center

Online, December 14, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Founded in New York in 1901, White & Case is a global law firm with lawyers in the US, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The company's clients are public and privately held commercial businesses and financial institutions, as well as governments and state-owned entities.

As a single partnership, White & Case functions as an integrated team, whose lawyers are linked by constant interaction and an electronic infrastructure that allows them to bring the organization's wealth of experience and all its global resources to bear on clients' most demanding business and legal issues - promptly and efficiently.

Following the construction of its new conference center in Manhattan, White & Case has installed Rendezvous, from NFS Hospitality. The browser-based conference, event and foodservice management solution, which went live in September 2006, is designed for both single site and multi-site operation.

By the end of 2006, White & Case's dedicated conference center will cover three floors, offering a range of thirty meeting rooms. The firm previously had a mixture of attorneys' offices and conference rooms on these floors, but for reasons of meeting frequency and security, opted for a dedicated area, and so sought a software solution that could handle the booking of these rooms as well as the resources required to hold each meeting.

Rendezvous as a Management Tool

Mary Janelle, who manages the center, comments: "The implementation of Rendezvous has enabled the firm to more effectively manage meeting requirements, thereby maximizing the utilization of the conference center space. With the self-service module (E.U.I.), the administrative staff has immediate access to meeting details, resulting in a more efficient planning process. Rendezvous' user-friendly environment certainly enhanced the successful software implementation for White & Case."

Rendezvous, developed and provided by international technology provider, NFS, is being used succssfully in many leading global law firms and international companies.
