An average event organizer uses six different tools to organize one event (this number can grow), in addition to using various generic tools (not tailored for the events industry) and numerous Excel spreadsheets for the other segments. This is because the software products currently available on the market focus on one – or at best just a few – different segments and processes of event organization, leaving the organizers to deal with multiple disconnected and incompatible systems, which then cause complex, costly and potentially risky data migrations between those systems.
Furthermore, the vast majority of platforms require high upfront payments and installation and configuration costs, and often even external consultants in order to ramp up a functioning system. It is difficult for event organizers to know whether the tool they purchased will really be suitable for their business, and for the events which they are organizing, because those things only become apparent later in the event organization process, when the initial time and money investments have already been made, and when technological and financial lock-in has already happened. This situation causes unnecessarily high operational costs of ownership for event organizers, thus decreasing their profit margins. And that is without even taking into account that each of the separate tools that event organizers are typically using has its own licencing and maintenance costs. At a time where the events industry has been one of the industries most impacted by the global pandemic, and where event success is all but guaranteed, these costs are often difficult to provide and to justify.
