Room Booking via Outlook

Microsoft Outlook® is an outstanding tool for personal scheduling and can, to a limited degree, work for basic room reservations. However, organizations whose meeting and event scheduling is more complex need a product specifically designed for that purpose.

That's where EMS solutions come in. They provide scheduling functionality that Outlook can't:

  • Automated room search
  • Room request/approval
  • Resource booking
  • And much more...

And with the EMS for Outlook® module, all of the functionality users need to schedule meetings and events can be available through the familiar Outlook interface. At the same time, reservationists can access EMS directly to use its powerful data entry and editing tools.

Organizations looking to take tighter control of their rooms and resources but hesitant to ask employees to embrace a new scheduling program can implement a system that gives both scheduling professionals and casual schedulers exactly what they need.
