StarCite Selected by SunTrust as Part of a Strategic Meetings Management Approach
PHILADELPHIA, June 6, 2007 – StarCite, Inc., the leading provider of On Demand Global Meeting Solutions™, today announced that SunTrust Banks, Inc., one of the nation’s largest
banking institutions, has chosen StarCite as its corporate meeting management technology
platform. SunTrust will work with StarCite to identify and quantify the company’s overall
spending on corporate meetings, helping enable SunTrust to reduce costs and more effectively
allocate resources across its meeting program.
SunTrust will implement StarCite’s MeetingView Enterprise solution, which helps companies
manage every element of corporate meetings from buying and budgeting to planning, attendee
management and cost measurement. The StarCite platform streamlines the traditionally
laborious meeting planning and negotiation process, replacing phone calls and faxes with an
easy-to-use online tool. Internal SunTrust users and SunTrusts meeting management partner(s),
will use StarCite to competitively bid meetings using StarCite’s extensive online marketplace,
which includes over 93,000 hotels and event venues.
“After reviewing our options we concluded that StarCite was the best fit for SunTrust, as it could
offer a comprehensive, time-saving technology platform, and give us access to an extensive
universe of hotels and venues we were looking for from this type of partner,” said Alexandra
Wagner, group vice president / director, corporate event management, SunTrust “We were also
attracted to StarCite’s web-based and on-demand approach to solution delivery, which eliminates
the need for our internal software integration and guarantees continued access to the latest
platform upgrades.”
Along with delivering more cost-effective meeting bookings, StarCite enables users to
electronically identify and thereby better manage company spending on meetings, as well as
more easily implement corporate policy.
“Like many companies in the financial services industry, for SunTrust meetings are integral to
corporate functions like sales, client development and internal communications,” said Michael
Boult, president and chief executive officer, StarCite. “SunTrust will be able to take a much
more efficient and strategic approach to its meeting investment, and we are thrilled to have the
opportunity to work with SunTrust and be part of their overall end-to-end meeting management
program.”
