You work for a company, it has resources that you make use of and have to share with other members of your company. You can add those resources to MRSware so that they appear in everyone's calendar, can be reserved for events, and everyone can see when a particular resource is available or busy.
Typical resources are things like conference rooms, projectors, and office tools. However, they can also be things like Demo Equipment, especially large pieces that are shared; or even Product Samples or Catalogs that are being distributed on sales calls.

Disabled Users are not billed for, and if they have the "User" Role in their entry they will appear as resources in the calendar -- they can be invited just like any other User in the system.
As a matter or housekeeping, keeping those lists easy to use, I might suggest adding a preface to your resources so that they appear grouped together in the Attendees list. For example:
