The Complete Scheduling Package

EMS is the single, comprehensive system of record to manage all types of meeting spaces, resources, and services. The Desktop Client improves productivity by streamlining reservation-management steps, automating and error-proofing time-consuming activities, and by providing accurate data and other critical information.

As a dynamic scheduling platform, EMS excels at handling the complexity associated with adding and managing resources and services within a reservation. With EMS, your organization can schedule the setup of any resource or service you need, such as catering, facilities, security, or A/V. Up-to-date communications through EMS helps prevent missed change notifications and costly, unwanted deliveries.
For organizations looking to support hoteling initiatives and unmanaged space reservations, the Desktop Client helps set all configurations for all remote access points (such as the EMS Room Sign App, EMS Mobile App, and EMS Kiosk App), user permissions, and room, resource, and services data.
