What are People Saying?

Word-of-mouth has always been a big factor in the popularity and widespread use of EMS software - our customers are some of our best salespeople. Here's what a few of them have to say about EMS...

"We have been very pleased with DEA and EMS. I am also impressed with the technical database structure and the flexibility that it provides. It (EMS Enterprise) is built on a much more solid platform- SQL and I haven't had any speed complaints- even from people accessing the database from another location." Amy L., System Administrator III, University of Michigan

"When we implemented the "client notification" function in EMS we were able to cut down on no-shows by 25%. We are so glad that EMS added this capability." James J., Director, Classroom Support, Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center

"We have had EMS online now for a full school year and absolutely LOVE it! We have had very positive responses and comments from community members as well as staff. EMS is very user-friendly... revisions can be made easily, and invoicing takes only a few minutes for me to complete every month! The many different reports have also come in very handy." D. Southards, Administrative Assistant, Issaquah School District

"We experienced a minor problem with our system this afternoon and so I emailed support@dea.com hoping to resolve the issue. Within 10 minutes, one of your employees responded to my query with an efficient and informative response. We traded a couple more emails to get to the bottom of the problem and I was left with a lasting impression that customer care and service is at the very heart of your organization. It's a delight to receive such advice/support within minutes of sending a query by email." Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama

"Thought you'd like to know that a number of administrators here at the University of Florida think that Virtual EMS is the best thing since sliced bread! We just recently released our reservations info in VEMS on our web pages and the compliments are flowing in. What a great tool!" University of Florida

"We have had excellent results with EMS Professional. The users love how easy and user-friendly it is. Also, the customer service provided by Dean Evans & Associates is great." University of Montana

"We had some minor problems with recent updates, and I had a special year-end report to generate for my supervisors. You responded quickly to every need. I've met all my deadlines. You are THE most responsive of any software vendor I have ever worked with." Rick G., Senior Computer Analyst, University of Central Florida

"Just wanted to say that the Data Extraction feature is great! There have been a handful of times when we've needed to quickly pull unusual combinations of data that fall outside of any one report. Data Extraction has really saved us each of these times. I've never seen this feature on a 3rd party database before. EMS rules!" Tony K., Automation Analyst, Georgetown University
