Armed with this data, organizations can identify areas for cutting costs and distribute resources more effectively. 

2. Problem: Managing More with the Same Budget 

Solution: Improving Negotiating Power and Cost Savings 

Unifying the event planning process and aggregating the needs of many events lets organizations negotiate better deals and discounts with suppliers.
