When it comes to the use of event and conference management software, you will have the choice to use free or paid products. While the choice may be heavily affected by your company’s budget, there are some things that you can do with a paid software that you can’t if you’re only using free service.
Here are three compelling reasons why you may want to push for a bigger budget when it comes to event management solutions:
1. Better customer support
While this may be obvious, a paid event and conference management software could mean better customer support. Some software providers who offer their service for free do not feel obligated to help you when it comes to the different issues that may arise with the use of their products. For paid software, however, customer support is always in the picture. After all, you are paying for something and you deserve to reap its benefits without worrying about software bugs or failures.
2. More business systems for data integration
What usually happens with free event and conference management software is that you will be working on a limited version of the software. This means that you will only be able to enjoy the basics and pay if you want to use the full version. This does not happen with paid products because you are entitled to use the full software as-is. Here are some of the business systems where data integration is applicable: Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Finance Management, Marketing Management, Project Management, and Event Website Management.
3. Full-service packages
Lastly, opting for paid event and conference management software gives you the flexibility to let the software provider optimize the event management solutions themselves. When it comes to creating an event website, for example, you won’t have to worry about using the different modules yourself. You just simply let the software provider know how the website should be and they will be doing everything for you. This is a great choice for event organisers who do not have time to handle the technical aspects of an event management software.
Those are only some of the reasons why you may want to consider paid event and conference registration software. If your budget is limited, try to look for a software provider that offers affordable packages or that can partition their service into specific products (only those that you need).
