For the upcoming CeBIT 2007, Deutsche Messe is teaming up with Trovarit, operator of the “IT Matchmaker” software evaluation platform ( www.it-matchmaker.com ), to offer a free new service at the show: “CeBIT Matchmaker Business Processes” will allow visitors to the Business Processes display category an opportunity to locate the relevant exhibitors and schedule appointments with them in advance of the show. This new service will be available beginning on 15 February at www.cebit.com .

When CeBIT opens its gates again on 15 March 2007, visitors will once again be faced with the ch allen ge of organizing their time as effectively as possible at the show. Given the multitude of business software solution providers, it is no easy task finding exactly the right partner for your project. Often the decision to visit a particular company's stand is made on the basis of name recognition or a wide range of software. But are well-known solutions always the right ones for every company's requirements?

The “CeBIT Matchmaker Business Processes” service gives users a chance to formulate their own requirements for a software solution during the run-up to the show, then check these against different providers' service profiles. Additional help is offered by a unique database containing more than 6 000 reference projects implemented by the software providers listed. This insures CeBIT visitors can put together a pool of exhibitors whose offerings match their own requirements. Based on this information, visitors can create their own shortlist of preferred conversation partners, then schedule appointments with these online in advance of the show. Nothing more stands in the way of a successful trip to CeBIT.
