College and university campuses frequently struggle with the task of getting academic classes and the wide variety of non-academic meetings and events that they host into the appropriate rooms. Ensuring the availability of the necessary services and resources can also be difficult.
EMS Campus™ and our other scheduling systems help more than 1,000 higher ed organizations meet their facility scheduling challenges. EMS Campus is multiple products in one:
EMS Campus offers a bi-directional interface with your SIS, helps facilitate the creation and maintenance of your academic schedule and automates the assignment and optimized use of classroom space. We integrate with:
With EMS Campus, all the functionality necessary for handling the many facets of campus-wide space management – academic scheduling, event management, meeting scheduling, resource tracking – is seamlessly integrated into one “complete campus scheduling” product. For the academic departments and registrars working to ensure that every class meets in a location and at a time that is acceptable to professors and students, the system provides automatic room assignment within user-supplied parameters, integration with your SIS/ERP software and efficient online collaboration tools. It also simplifies final exam scheduling. Meeting and event staff have access to a powerful array of tools for booking single- or multi-day events, reserving the services and resources required for those events, producing operational and statistical reports, and tracking financial transactions. For those tasked with publishing a web calendar for the campus, the Virtual EMS component of the system makes it simple.
Unlike timetabling software or timetable software, which is typically used to create a class schedule from scratch each semester, academic scheduling software allows you to "roll" existing schedules forward and modify them, making the scheduling process more efficient.
When it comes to effective use of your rooms and resources, ease of access is key. While your EMS system administrators will typically utilize the powerful desktop application, the majority of your users will access the system in other ways for different purposes. For example…
With EMS Professional™ and the “Enterprise-level” EMS scheduling systems (EMS Enterprise™, EMS Workplace™, EMS Campus™, EMS District™ and EMS Legal™), there are access methods to support any mix of space management approaches and the needs of any type of user. From centralized to Outlook-based, facility managers to attendees, and all those inbetween, EMS is accessible by just about anyone, anytime, anywhere!
Simplify your scheduling with anytime, anywhere access!
Leverage the power of the internet with this module for EMS Campus™. Virtual EMS provides fully interactive, real-time access to scheduling information via the internet or your organization's intranet. Website visitors can browse your building schedule or search for specific events from any computer with an internet browser. Authorized users (employees in your organization, meeting organizers, facility staff, etc.) can, depending on the level of access granted, submit room requests or create self-service reservations directly from the web through a secure, user-friendly interface.

This optional module establishes the tightest integration possible between the web version of the EMS client or Virtual EMS and your network or web portal. Integrated authentication works with Microsoft Active Directory or your custom web portal to streamline web account maintenance for administrators and enable single-sign on for web users.
