Integration with Video Conference Systems
While video conference systems (such as those from Cisco, TANDBERG, Polycom, etc.) control the delivery of audio and video
content, the scheduling component within the software is typically designed to be used by the person responsible for all the
technical aspects of the session. As a result, meeting organizers must rely on technicians, who are frequently away from their
desks and difficult to reach, to schedule video conferences or make changes to them. Consequently, it's only through the
integration with room and resource scheduling software that a solution is truly complete and intuitive.
Utilizing an optional module, user-friendly EMS products can share data with video conference systems to streamline the scheduling
of video conferences and telepresence meetings (in part because entry into two systems is no longer necessary) and ensure
that the necessary equipment is available. EMS is time zone aware and does
time conversions to ensure there is no miscommunication about when meetings are scheduled.
