Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Resource Guru for resource management at my current workplace for about two years now. It has helped me and my team to avoid missing deadlines and properly track projects and meetings. It's a quite simple software and becoming a guru with it is a task of a few hours of practice. Over time we have managed to streamline all our meetings rooms and schedules in this single resource allocation tool.

Likelihood to Recommend

Resource Guru has been a huge time-saver all through and now stale schedule mails are a thing of the past. We are in the line of delivering IT solutions and their maintenance. I'm in charge of developing, maintaining and installing WAN and LAN network software for clients and therefore missing an appointment or a meeting would translate to losing a client. With Resource Guru I have all workloads in the waiting list under total control.
