Virtual EMS™

Virtual EMS Workplace is the optional web-based extension of EMS Workplace, which is designed for your employees, meeting hosts and attendees, or anyone in your organization submitting requests or making self-service reservations. Virtual EMS Workplace requires network access to the EMS Workplace database server. Although we recommend separate servers (database vs. web), small-scale environments may be able to use a single server for both purposes.
