Conference Management & Serviced Offices

Conference centers are probably the biggest example of large numbers of external visitors converging into a single environment and all wanting or needing network access.  With amigopod, the complex task of managing these large numbers of users becomes greatly simplified.  An amigopod operator can quickly and easily create an account, reset a password or extend the duration of network access all from a simple and familiar looking interface.  Many conference exhibitors who simply can't connect have suffered from having to wait until the One IT person on staff is able to find your booth, go back to the server room, reset your details and then relay the information back to you.  With amigopod, any of the conference staff can simply log onto the web based interface, create or edit your account details and even send them to you via SMS.  They can even set up a self service portal for delegates to register themselves and gain instant network connectivity based on your pre defined security policy.

One of the key benefits of serviced offices is the quick and instant ease of use they provide for their customers. One of the challenges facing the providers of serviced offices is to deliver network access for the mobile worker as quickly and simply as possible while still maintaining security policy.  amigopod solutions provide a recognisable and intuitive interface for non technical operations staff to handle this task.  Quickly register visitors and at the same time create a user account which gives them the appropriate network access for the designated period of time.  Print a custom receipt to give the visitor, send the details via SMS or hand out pre-generated scratch cards.  Your operational staff will be in complete control of managing the visitor database eg. creating users, deleting users, changing expiration time, resetting a password, etc. This control is always within the existing boundaries and security policy defined and controlled by the IT team, restricted to specific visitor roles, and kept separated from internal user databases like Active Directory which should be kept clean of transient users and used to manage only your internal staff accounts.
