TURKU, Finland, May 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Today, Lyyti, a Finnish-based event management software company, is proud to announce yet another new enterprise customer, Be Viacom. Be Viacom is one of the biggest media companies in Europe, with globally known brands such as MTV, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon. Previously, companies such as Deloitte, ABB, Europcar, TeliaSonera and Unilever have chosen Lyyti as their event management solution.

"Having a company such as Be Viacom to trust us and choose us for their event management tool is a really great sign that our work during the past two years in Europe is paying off. Be Viacom's headquarters are located in Berlin, where we opened our office 14 months ago. We believe that the need for corporate event management will grow rapidly in the next year or so. Over 95% of corporate events are private and non-ticketing, and this isn't where the current big players focus. Most internal corporate events, such as seminars and HR training, are still managed manually, and that's where we step in. I believe we'll be able to conclude other high level enterprise contracts during the next few months", explains Petri Hollmén, CEO of Lyyti.

Lyyti's product is a web-based event management tool used for over 30,000 events annually all around the world. The company has a strong focus on B2B events, and includes specially designed features - such as corporate event analytics and critical CRM integration for corporate and enterprise requirements. More information about the product can be found at http://www.lyyti.com

Lyyti is based in Turku, Finland and also has offices in Berlin, Stockholm and Zürich with around 20 employees. The company aims to be the European market leader in corporate event management software in the next two years. Earlier this year Lyyti signed a partnership with the European Management Assistants Association (EUMA).
