DEA Announces New Executive Leadership Team

Experienced Team to Drive Next Phase of Growth


DENVER, CO--(Marketwired - August 27, 2015) - Dean Evans & Associates (DEA), the leading provider of meeting room scheduling software, today announced the new executive team that will lead DEA into its next phase of growth and position within the industry.

Approximately 25 percent of North American organizations are using some form of dedicated software to help manage their corporate event space, meeting and conference rooms, and workstations. Based on DEA's analyses, the number of organizations using a dedicated software solution will double over the next three years.

Driving this growth is the increasing focus that organizations have on digital workplace strategies.

"The new executive team is focused on helping our customers create great meetings with easy-to-use solutions that offer the greatest depth and breadth of functionality."
