How José Del Olmo and Myrna Hoogendoorn created Onemeeting.com's OMS, a unique reservation and property management system that changed the meeting industry forever.

In the world of meeting and event planning, there was a clear need for innovation and efficiency. Ten years ago, José Del Olmo and Myrna Hoogendoorn embarked on a remarkable journey to fulfill this need. Their vision led to the creation of Onemeeting System (OMS), a unique SAAS solution that has completely transformed the way meetings and events are planned and managed.

It all started with a vision. José Del Olmo and Myrna Hoogendoorn believed that the meetings and events industry was in dire need of a system that would serve both venues and customers. They wanted to create a system that could function both as a Property Management System (PMS) for Meeting Centers and a real-time reservation system for customers. This vision took them to India, where they worked with the talented team at Gateway Group to make their dream a reality.

Building OMS was not an easy task. The team faced a technical challenge of monumental proportions. They needed to develop a system that understood the complexities of location management while serving customer needs. But with dedication and perseverance, and without any comparable competition in the market, they managed to create OMS, a system that gave both venues and clients control over their meeting and event planning.

The launch of OMS marked a turning point for Onemeeting.com and the meetings and events industry as a whole. OMS became an integral part of the 'Connected' Onemeeting.com formula, allowing locations worldwide to benefit from the benefits of this innovative system. Customers were also welcomed to a new world of convenience, where they could make real-time bookings in a wide variety of Meeting Centers with just a few clicks. OMS set a new standard for efficiency and convenience in the industry.

The story of the construction of OMS is a source of inspiration for many in the world of technology and entrepreneurship. It shows that with determination, collaboration and innovation, even the most complex challenges can be overcome. José Del Olmo, Myrna Hoogendoorn and the entire team behind OMS have proven that the future of meeting and event planning can be brighter and simpler than ever before. The meetings and events revolution has begun, and OMS is the driving force behind it.
