Overview of reservation management

The IBM® Maximo® Real Estate and Facilities solution delivers an IWMS that integrates the IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities Workplace Reservation Manager application as part of Workplace Services technology solution.

The Workplace Reservation Manager application is designed for advanced reservation management that includes work areas, equipment, and vehicles. Workplace Reservation Manager can be integrated with Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft Outlook. The calendaring engine of Maximo Real Estate and Facilities allows any potential object in the system used as a reservable resource. The integration helps in sharing calendar details between Exchange/Outlook and Maximo Real Estate and Facilities. Users use an interface that is familiar and still take advantage of reserve functionality in Maximo Real Estate and Facilities.

To manage your reservations and reservable resources with the Workplace Reservation Manager application, you must understand the reservation process and reservation types in your company practices. You must also understand the application portals that are available to your company role.
