EMS Professional 9.1 Offers Self-Service Facility and Resource Scheduling from the
Internet
Dean Evans & Associates' latest release provides secure, web-based access to meeting
and event data
DENVER -- Dean Evans & Associates (www.dea.com)
today announced that the company has begun shipping EMS Professional Version 9.1,
the latest release of its facility and resource scheduling software. Also available
is an update to the add-on web-based component, Virtual EMS, which now offers an
optional module through which authorized users can submit room requests or create
room reservations directly from the Internet through any standard web browser. EMS
(Event Management System) products are used throughout the U.S. and abroad by higher
education campuses, corporations, hospitals, churches, school districts and other
organizations to manage the scheduling of rooms, resources and services, and also
to enable the publishing of event-related information to the Internet.
“Organizations no longer need an EMS Enterprise-sized budget to get the on-line
request and reservation features they want,” says Susannah Parrish, DEA’s account
executive for the Southwestern U.S., referring to the flagship of the EMS product
line. “EMS Professional and EMS Lite customers said they wanted the ability to make
requests and reservations from the web and I’m very pleased that our development
team took that input and came up with a powerful, easy-to-use tool for doing just
that. With the release of EMS Professional Version 9.1, all of our products now
have state-of-the-art online request/reservation modules.”
In addition to the request/reservation capability, other improvements to Virtual
EMS Professional Version 9.1 include tools for reviewing the types of rooms a facility
offers, finding the events for a particular group, browsing for available space,
organizing group meetings more efficiently, and speeding the log in process. Enhancements
to the EMS Professional desktop component include simplified access to database
management functions, the availability of detailed information on holidays on the
Reservation Book, and a number of improvements to the way events are formatted and
printed on reports.
