vuEventsPortal™
Global InterAction's vuEventsPortal™
is a complete working Event Management Web Site and
Portal. It provides
event teams and their event participants with a
common
and consistent focal point, and portal
to view, provide, request and manage event information and
event and management services.
The
vuEventsPortal allows for a significant amount of configuration
flexibility and customization to meet your specific design and process
needs. It is also a
platform
on which you may build complementary services to meet other specific
process requirements.
Services support:
-
internal
and external event web sites and information
-
an event calendar
-
timeline
management
-
demo
registration, management and tracking
-

and access to auxiliary
services from other suppliers as necessary
Integration with Services from other suppliers:
A
primary purpose of the vuEventPortal is to provide a common and
consistent access point for employees to all event information and
services; whether those services are provided onsite or via 3rd party
suppliers.
You may
have existing technology or may later adopt technology that better meets
your needs in certain service areas. Global InterAction does not aim to
compete with companies specializing in certain service areas. Our goal
is to work with these specialized suppliers to insure our customers can
fully leverage their tools along with the value of a single access point
for employees and event participants.
In fact,
by leveraging the flexible capabilities of the vuEventsPortal, we've
found that we're often able to enhance the overall user experience with
the tools of complementary suppliers.
The
current version of the vuEventsPortal provides additional integration
capabilities for the following 3rd party suppliers and tools:

vuTools™
Global InterAction's vuTools™
is a VB .NET class library; it consists of a large suite of properties
and methods used to facilitate the building of powerful web-based
Trade Show and Event Management tools and applications,
and Sales and Marketing Event and Activity Calendars.
Global InterAction uses our
vuTools™ class library to build and deliver customized Event Management
and Calendar applications to its customers. Customers are provided with
a license to use the vuTools class library in their applications.
Companies who are using
Global InterAction Event and Calendar applications may wish to obtain
complete control over the underlying applications that have been built,
customized or provided to them by Global InterAction. For these
customers, Global InterAction offers a source license to the vuTools™
class library. This gives those customers the right and ability to
extract, edit or extend the functionality of
the libraries themselves, for their Event and Calendar applications,
and for any new applications they might choose to develop using the
vuTools™ class library.
Global InterAction's vuTools™
class library is also available for sale to companies who wish to build
