EMS Legal Options

EMS/CISCO or EMS/TANDBERG Integration

With EMS/Cisco or EMS/TANDBERG Integration, video conferences or telepresence meetings scheduled in EMS are automatically replicated in the video conference system, streamlining the process of coordinating them. Time zone awareness, time conversion and a user-friendly interface make this a tool that every organization using EMS and Cisco or TANDBERG should take advantage of.

Advanced Visitor Management with Badge Printing

Basic visitor management capability is standard on all Enterprise-level EMS products. This includes the ability to add visitors through the desktop application or Virtual EMS, to review entries on a Browse window and to print a Visitor Management report. Advanced visitor management provides those features plus easy entry of walk-up visitors, visitor list import capability and badge printing from a default template.

Video Display Interface

Would you like to automatically display your EMS schedule of events on digital signage throughout your facility? By adding the Video Display Interface (VDI) to your EMS system, and using it to interface with one of many popular digital signage systems on the market today (refer to our Digital Signage Partners), you can do just that. There is even an option to export scheduling data formatted for use with Microsoft PowerPoint®. Although we do not sell digital signage hardware, we would be happy to discuss your needs and point you in the right direction.

As an alternative to relying on the VDI module, some of our digital signage partners have designed their systems to connect directly to your EMS database in order to read and display the schedule of events in near real-time. Please contact the following partners for complete details:

• AxisTV by Visix, Inc.
• Carousel by Tightrope Media Systems

RoomWizard Interface

 ( Datasheet)

EMS Legal can be integrated with Steelcase RoomWizard™ devices, which are digital room signs that can allow walk-up booking of space. With this integration, users have the option of reserving rooms in advance through EMS or booking on-the-spot from RoomWizard's touch-screen at the conference room. RoomWizard shows the room's current schedule and provides a convenient red/green light to indicate whether the room is occupied or available. By integrating these technologies, organizations can eliminate scheduling conflicts, optimize room usage, and track impromptu use of space.

EMS Kiosk™

The EMS Kiosk is software that turns a touch-screen display unit (purchased from any of a number of manufacturers) into a powerful yet easy to use digital room sign and interactive tool for reviewing room availability, booking space, searching for a meeting location and more. Mount the unit outside a room and/or make an EMS Kiosk available in a lobby or entryway. Pair with the optional Floor Plan module and give users an added measure of convenience as they see reserved/available space on a facility diagram, making it even easier to find a meeting or a place to hold one!

API (Application Programming Interface)

Software and web application developers can use this tool to write programs that interact with an EMS database. The standard API is free to customers and available to their vendors and anyone looking to integrate with EMS; an advanced API is licensed and purchased separately.

Floor Plan Module

Adding the Floor Plan module gives Virtual EMS users (and EMS Kiosk users, if applicable) an even more visual way to locate, evaluate and book the reservable space in your facility. Floor Plans also provide a means of wayfinding to see exactly where a meeting or event is taking place.

EMS Language Translation Module

The world is getting smaller every day. Be sure that your organization can take part in the global conversation! The EMS Language Translation Module enables language localization for the web version of the EMS client, Virtual EMS or EMS Kiosk through our library of "language packs" or using one that we compile for you with terms you supply.

FM Integration Toolkit

The EMS FM Integration Toolkit simplifies the maintenance of facilities information within EMS by keeping it in synch with data in your Facility Management (FM) System. The toolkit takes building, room, room attribute and other records that you transfer to a staging database and updates the appropriate tables in EMS.

Professional Services

 ( Datasheet)

The implementation and maintenance of a software package is a series of steps. While completing those steps on your own is certainly an option, there are many advantages to having our Professional Services team assist you with some or all of them. From needs assessment to system configuration to end user training to upgrade planning, our highly-trained consultants draw on detailed product knowledge and experience with other customers as they work with you to determine how your organization can get the most out of EMS.
