Return on Investment

Not dependent on outlook or scheduling software
Requires set up and help on coordinating spaces via uploaded floor plans.

Better management integration from users and administrators. Archibus is still much better for multiple building management. It’s ability to overlay and activate specific spaces on a floor plan makes it very easy to visualize.
