PARTHENON TRAVEL & TOURS

PARTHENON TRAVEL & TOURS

After some serious thinking and brainstorming, spending too many hours with our designers, tormenting our developers to make it happen, Parthenon Travel & Tours site is finally online. And our team has made it happen! The real quest was to develop a site for the customer to like and have all the services they requested and for you to really enjoy the search. We integrated a real online hotel search and package search and a real time booking tool for you to loose no time in reaching your destination. In the end, it wasn't as tough as it seemed to begin with, but......after all is possible for our developing team.

Whether you are in the congress business or you just try your luck in organising a congress, you must know what HAPCO represents.

At first, HAPCO came to us with a simple request, "We need a site!". But as days went by, more requests kept comming and kept us busy. We had modules to add, banners to design, calendars to create so you know what happens and where, promises to keep, deadlines to meet, meetings to attend....but as always we worked hard and made it work. HAPCO's site is online and if you whant to know everything there is about a congress, that's the place to visit.

e-ABSTRACTS

e-Abstracts

We know you know us from the desktop application Congress-Master. We hold a many years expertise in congress applications. Until now, we had developed an excellent desktop application. However, a need came up since our customers wanted to be able to submit abstacts online. And when we make something, we want it to be just perfect. So we gathered our designers, developers, programmers, gave them the need and after a short period of time we started working on it.

Finally............., an online abstract submition engine, fulfilling all the requirements of our customers and much more, from abstact submition to online judge marking. But the best part is that it is fully compatible with our desktop application. You have the true online congress management right on your desktop, with the quality our company is known for. And that is not all! we are one step away from completing our true online registration and accomodation booking engine again fully compatible with the Congress Master. Check our news frequently, we have more suprises coming soon.

Ask NOW for a demo of our congress administartion engine with the online abstacts here: dkechagias@banda.gr

Changes

Our beloved Boss ... gave to our project manager another reason to stay longer at the office (as if he didn’t have enough of those already).

Acknowledging the success Mr. Dimitris Kechagias had with Congress Master (unknown words? Have a look at our desktop applications), he put him in charge of BackOffice. You can say that was his early Christmas present!

Now Dimitris is rearranging fields, making brand new code, deleting old code, getting more people on board the development team and preparing himself for what is expected of him. To perform miracles!!! This is a Macromedia takeover by Adobe allover again!

If I were you, I would keep an eye for this one over the next months.

Good luck (and Merry Christmas in the office?) dear Project manager, although we know you are not going to need it.

New Blood

Fresh new blood joined our company, a young man thirsty for programming. We chose him among all others for one reason.

He has a passion for programming and anything else ranks second place. Cause if you love what you DO, you will end up being the best.

Lets welcome Dimitris Papanikos to our Development Team .

Congress Master evolution

Never Stop Evolving is our moto, and that’s what we are always after.
Congress Master, the program you use - and if not then you should - has evolved to something better, more powerful and even faster. When we built it we had specific needs on mind, but as more people kept using it, more things had to be added.

Access was our first database choice and the one meeting our needs back then, when we started developing Congress Master. Since then we progressed, a lot, and access could no longer meet our requirements.

Day-by-day, build-by-build, version-by-version. The need for a more powerful database caught up with us and finally…….we seized the power, speed and flexibility of MS SQL.

Congress Master now plays in 3 different Modes:
1. Access
2. MS SQL*
3. Mixed Mode (Access + MS SQL)
*Recommended Mode

Happy congressing!

Maria Koutsoulieri

Not long ago, we welcomed new blood to our company, to help us with our work and together go a step further in development.

But when business goes well, the work is piling up for our development team.
To stop us from nagging, our beloved boss asked us to take action and find one more person to add to the development team.

Finding a co-worker is not an easy thing.

Not only must he possess the skills for the work, he should also have just the right personality to fit in with the already assembled development team.

As usual, it took quite a lot of time and too many candidates to finally come across the developer with the skills and personality we were looking for.

To our surprise that developer was a SHE not a HE………Welcome Maria Koutsoulieri to our family.

I wonder if that could be one more reason to stay longer in the office :D

PCO CONVIN

What makes us happy?

There is no greater satisfaction other than the acknowledgement of our hard work.
PCO CONVIN (http://www.pco-convin.gr/) , a strong player in the congress market,
has chosen us to be their preferred software partner.

We are happy to support yet another important PCO and to provide them with the best of our services.

Welcome PCO CONVIN in our big B&A family.

HAPCO speech

We have been developing applications (web and desktop) to support the congress market for a long time.
So when we received an email from HAPCO (Hellenic Association of Professional Congress Organizers), asking us to give a speech in their 6th Pan Hellenic Congress & Workshops, it was a happy moment.

But not for long………because we now have to prepare the presentation, write the speech and make sure that it will last only 20 minutes .... not an easy job for people with so many things to say, but we will manage it.

The congress will take place in Athens, Greece. If you wish to learn more about it, please click here http://www.hapco.gr/hpnDetails.aspx?anakid=42.

If you wish to get a taste of how Congress works and what the Future of Congress will be in Greece, please Join us. In the above link you will find all the information you need.

Banda New Site

Just like a carpenter , that makes his own office and he is never satisfied enough , he has some more ideas to work with and wants to try out , we too want to "play around" with new ideas .

So when our project manager says "I want our team to give a touch of fresh air to our company's site without too many changes", he is our carpenter . !
We worked hard, played rough, and though there is no customer more difficult than us, we successfully managed to remake our company's online presence.

Of course, for a company providing so many services like B&A, there is always room to add more.

So, go and check out our site and give us your feedback. It does not matter if it is negative or positive, your feedback will always be welcome. But let me remind you, there is more to come in our internet house.
