Custom Event Management Systems

For over a decade, FMS has created software solutions for some of the world's leading organizations in the professional event management, lecture series, continuing medical education, and ongoing training organizations.

Our solutions help organizations flawlessly execute high profile and regulated events to meet their expectations. Users and administrators can customize their systems to manage multi-task processes and assignments to ensure even the smallest details are not overlooked with rich functionality for data sharing, searching, scheduling, and communications.

Speaker Lecture Management System

The Washington Speakers Bureau is the world's leading speaker management agency and the exclusive representative of high profile speakers such as President George W. Bush, Condoleezza Rice, Gen. Colin Powell, Alan Greenspan, etc.

For over a decade, FMS has partnered with WSB to create a custom solution to manage these high profile speakers and their engagements. This speaker event management system assists with the operational details including managing speaker contracts, booking events, tracking logistics, paying honorariums, tracking expenses, communicating with the accounting system, automating complex rules, etc. An integrated system with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook makes it easy to track all email communications by project so anyone can quickly understand the details of a project and step in if someone is out. With our system, WSB has significantly improved customer service, simplified contracting, increased consistency, minimized mistakes, and established Best Practices through repeatable, verifiable processes.

Continuing Medical Education (CME) Systems

FMS has worked with some of the leading organizations providing continuing medical education (CME) events for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Our systems are used to manage over 60,000 education events a year across the country; that's over 1000 events a week!

Unlike our solution for WSB which is speaker focused, our CME solutions are focused on making sure similar events are replicated in a very scalable manner. Tracking physician instructors, attendees, feedback, and ensuring compliance with medical and FDA regulations are critical to our clients and their pharmaceutical customers. Here's our event management application for MediVia that enabled the control of large volumes of client information, improved customer services, and minimized redundancy and employee training costs.

Tracking Education Certification and Competency Standards

The Defense Acquisition University (DAU) in Ft. Belvoir, VA is charged with managing competencies and designing courses for the Department of Defense training and education. DAU covers all branches of the military and helps individual learn the skills they need to advance in their careers and better serve our nation.

DAU offers a wide range of courses and faces an ongoing challenge of certification drift as courses originally designed to cover multiple skills evolve and change over time. 

With our competency requirements management system, DAU is better able to track competency requirements and courses for the many career fields they manage. This improves the standards of the curricula, and better informs students so they are aware of the skills they need and how to acquire them.
