Nexus Brings Meetings into "The Cloud" –
Delivering Faster
Innovation,
Greater Value and a Better User Experience
Built on a state-of-the-art technology foundation that is the first of its kind in the meetings industry, StarCite Nexus is a sharp departure from traditional technology architectures that are monolithic and rigid. Nexus introduces the innovation and agility required to meet the full spectrum of corporate meeting program needs as they evolve – from early-stage initiatives to large, complex, multinational strategic meetings management programs. “Today, nothing in the meetings industry can match the combination of flexibility, simplicity and depth that Nexus offers,” said Greg Dukat, President and CEO of StarCite. “This approach will drive a better user experience for buyers and suppliers alike. It can equally meet the needs of companies just starting out with meetings management and those well underway, enabling any company to create a more robust meetings program and realize greater value from their StarCite relationship.” Nexus – The Next Generation of Meetings Management Innovation StarCite Nexus offers a host of new developments and advances, including:
“StarCite’s technology approach,
which brings a
service based and metadata driven approach, puts it alongside some of

held senior
technology positions from leading companies such as PayPal, eBay,
InterActive
Corp., and Travelocity. “By creating a
