What is Teem / Eventboard (discontinued)?

Originally launched in 2012 as EventBoard, the software pioneered meeting room scheduling and conference room management via dedicated tablet displays before rebranding to Teem in 2016 to cover desk hoteling and workplace analytics. At the peak of its pre-IPO acquisition spree in September 2018, WeWork purchased the company for an estimated $100 million, only to divest it in a distressed sale to workplace software vendor iOFFICE in 2020 amid corporate restructuring and asset liquidations. Teem was subsequently swept into successive private equity consolidations—first absorbed into iOFFICE + SpaceIQ in 2021, and then folded into Eptura in 2022 alongside rival reservation provider Condeco. Sidelined within a bloated portfolio of redundant, overlapping desk- and room-booking systems, the platform was starved of independent development, formally sunset, and deprecated, reducing an early workplace experience pioneer to an obsolete casualty of corporate overreach and private equity rollups.

Pros

Easy-to-administer, cloud based platform.
Friendly interface on end user devices that is easy to use.

Front Desk check-in app is simple even for first time guests.

Cons

More direct integration with Microsoft tools such as Teams and Outlook.
Functionality more akin to special events check-in that can be used when necessary.

Return on Investment

Teem has made it much easier to find rooms in a pinch, so that has reduced a lot of time for users.
Teem has made it much easier for us to track all guests coming into the building and vastly improved our tracking/reporting.
On the downside, it has been expensive adding new conference rooms due to the cost of hardware which can be pretty negative.

Pros

The UI is awesome.
The ability to customize is cool.
Integration across different platforms is good, too!

Cons

Having an ability to lock the app without someone being to exit without a code would be good; users like to mess with the iPads at times.
