THE EMS PRODUCT LINE
The EMS product line is made up of a number of tools, each with unique features and functions
to address specific scheduling and calendaring needs. (Note: A product may appear in
more than one grouping.)
Academic Scheduling Software
Academic scheduling, or "classroom scheduling," is the assigning of courses to classrooms.
Automating that labor-intensive process, while ensuring that instructor preferences, course requirements
("must meet in a chemistry lab") and other factors are all taken into account,
frees valuable time for registrars, professors and other staff members.

Ideal for colleges and universities to
optimize the use of facilities campus-wide
Catering Software
Coordinating the menus, quantities, pricing, set-up and other facets of a catering service, and
printing the service orders, BEOs and other reports
requires software designed for the task. A number of EMS products offer catering-related
functionality.

Ideal for multiple facilities that
are managed collectively

Best for multiple facilities that are
managed independently or geographically dispersed

Facilitates alternative working
arrangements, often called hoteling or hot-desking, plus meeting and event management

Event Calendar Software
Event calendaring software, sometimes called "web calendar software", "master
calendar software" or "online calendaring software" is used to produce
internet-based calendars that not only display a schedule of events but can also provide
a wide range of additional information – fees, directions to the facility, links to
associated websites and much more.

Gives everyone across your campus,
company or community instant, online access to a centralized calendar of events
Event Management Software
The managing of "events" (banquets, seminars, conferences, etc.) involves everything
from recording the customer's contact information when they first inquire about space
to billing them at the completion of their successful event, and everything in between.

Also referred to as "room scheduling software", "resource scheduling
software" or "facility scheduling software", these tools are used to find and
book space for single- or multi-day meetings and events, reserve the resources (equipment,
etc.) and services (such as personnel) needed for events and coordinate all the communication
surrounding events (confirmations, invoices, operational reports, etc.).

Office "Hoteling" Software
A shared workspace management strategy, where a company allots workspace on an as-needed
basis in order to accommodate more people in less space, requires a software package
designed with "hot-desking" functionality in mind.

Facilitates alternative working
arrangements, often called hoteling or hot-desking, plus meeting and event management
Resource Scheduling Software
More often than not, meetings and events require more than just a room - they require resources
like A/V equipment, catering services, technicians and other personnel, etc. These items can be
defined, tracked and coordinated in many EMS products.

Designed for use at a single facility;
resource
tracking is optional functionality

displays the room layout for their gathering ensures that everyone is on the same page
and helps guarantee that the event will be a success.
