Rearden Commerce Inc. is integrating StarCite meeting management solutions into its platform, offering a complete meetings solution that covers the entire process from event planning and execution to individualized travel bookings for each attendee. The integration will include Rearden's Personal Assistant, giving meeting registrants a one-stop opportunity to make all their arrangements.

Rearden customers will now be able to apply meeting-specific travel policies and negotiated rates that can be set by meeting planners and then automatically administered through the Rearden Commerce(tm) Platform. Once bookings are complete, itinerary information will automatically be fed back into the StarCite solution, providing companies with consolidated reporting to manage meeting logistics and overall meeting spend.

Users will begin the meeting registration process in the StarCite system, then be automatically transitioned to the Rearden Personal Assistant to complete their travel bookings and make companion arrangements such as menu choices, purchase of special merchandise and golf reservations. Key data, such as airport arrival times and meeting dates, will already be synchronized into the Rearden PA and users work calendars so that they can check other itineraries to identify any travel conflicts.
