What is Accruent EMS?

Accruent's EMS Software connects people with the right spaces, resources, and technology, solving today’s workspace and scheduling challenges and enabling organizations to get the most from their modern work and learning environments.

Employees want the flexibility to work from anywhere and to collaborate using their preferred technologies in a safe and social environment. At the same time, leaders need to drive value for their businesses by making the best possible use of their real estate footprint. Multi-use spaces, hoteling or hot desking, and open floor plans can provide efficiencies, but not when burdened with redundant, outdated tools, and processes disconnected from the rest of a business.

So EMS Software is provided as an intelligent, enterprise-class scheduling and resource management software platform, configured and integrated to a unique office environment. The vendor describes it as a management tool that offers the flexibility employees demand, while providing users the visibility, control and insights needed to drive value for the organization.The vendor further boasts deep industry expertise, with over 35 years in the business .

EMS, or Event Management System, is a versatile software solution widely adopted by colleges, universities, and organizations for scheduling and managing events. The system efficiently books rooms, tracks conference room reservations, and facilitates communication between service providers. Users appreciate EMS for streamlining scheduling processes across the organization, from classes and meetings to events. It also helps with work assignment delegation and managing services for internal and external events.

Hospitals also benefit from EMS by using it to schedule conference rooms and manage room and catering requests. For example, TIAA integrates EMS with Outlook, creating a one-stop booking experience that includes features like Webex and attachments. EMS goes beyond room reservations and effectively manages non-room items like banner spaces and van usage.

EMS provides comprehensive support for academic scheduling, event management, and non-academic space management within universities. Many departments already use EMS for event scheduling, with plans to implement it in more departments in the future. In fact, the University of Kentucky relies on EMS more than any other university in the nation for scheduling across all buildings.

EMS is invaluable for risk management and logistical planning. It is utilized in conference centers and other school units with unique spaces. Real-time utilization data allows users to evaluate meeting spaces and classrooms' efficiency. By effectively managing resource allocation and service allocation, EMS enables efficient operations across different departments.

EMS plays a crucial role in enhancing safety and security efforts through essential reporting capabilities. It is used campus-wide for managing catering orders, facilities requests, IT requests, and room reservations. Various groups within an institution benefit from EMS implementation, including the Registrar's Office, Athletics Department, Performing Arts Department, Auxiliary & Event Services, among others.

Overall, EMS receives high praise from users due to its ability to streamline scheduling processes, allocate resources efficiently, and optimize space management within organizations. Its wide range of use cases makes it a valuable tool in educational institutions, conference centers, and organizations requiring efficient scheduling and event management.

At Florida International University, we are currently using EMS to manage non-academic spaces. After 2 years implementations, the Phase I went live on August university-wide this year with 9 units. Phase II will start soon in the target to onboard all other units within the university as well as academic spaces.

I use EMS in the Dept. of Athletics, PE and Recreation at MIT (DAPER). It is also used for Campus Activities and a few other departments.

DAPER uses EMS to schedule Intercollegiate Athletics, PE Classes, Intramurals, Club Sports, Institute Events and recreational use. We also rent space to non-MIT users for large events.

EMS is being used across the university. I specifically use it in my department for facility reservations/management and billing. The system helps in providing weekly information on events scheduled in our 180,000 square feet facility.

We are currently using EMS for booking room reservations on campus and booking other events on campus as well. That is the extent, but we are preparing to use EMS for academic scheduling purposes.

We use EMS for all room scheduling, all AV scheduling, all setup, security, housekeeping and other details for all events and classes at our organization. It solves efficiency issues and reporting issues. I am very happy with the product, specifically the end user experience and the reports.

I use EMS Software for academic classroom scheduling and external group meetings. We do not use EMS across our whole organization. We actually underutilize EMS.

EMS is used by my office to manage 4500 event and meeting bookings a year. It assists us in managing the organization of campus-wide reservations, invoicing, building opening/closing schedules, as well as inventory. The technical support for EMS has always been readily available and we cannot imagine using another software to plan events.

EMS is being used by my whole organization. It provides a link to our academic database to room scheduling; offers end users self-service options; consolidates event planning to a one-stop shop environment; offers students an opportunity to schedule assessments; increases productivity in service departments

It is being used across the main university campus as well as part of the medical school campus. Not all departments and spaces have onboarded, but it has created a centralized location to reserve space instead of all department managed.

We use EMS to manage all scheduling at the university (both events and academics) as well as resource and service allocation for items like A/V, parking and catering. Moving to EMS was crucial for us in order to centralize university scheduling, get real-time utilization data, and provide a user-friendly interface for end users to get the services and spaces they need.

We use it for event and classroom scheduling. It is being used by our three campuses. It is helping us to evaluate and review the efficiency of how our meeting space and classrooms are used. We are also hoping that, through the use of the Optimizing feature, that we will be able to schedule our courses more effectively.

I work in the hospitality department and use EMS software to plan and manage event space and events on campus. Departments request space through our department and we approve and assign coordinators to assist the client from start to finish. We are working on convincing other partners on campus to use EMS as well and provide their services to our internal and external clients via EMS

Within the Blackburn University Center, EMS Software is used to reserve space within our facility. Currently it is being used by three departments; the Blackburn University Center, Burr Gymnasium (Athletics), and Cramton Auditorium. EMS Software addresses a number of things such as room reservations, invoicing, facility reporting, and revenue reporting just to name a few. EMS allows us to manage spaces within our facility to better serve the needs of students, staff/faculty, and external clients.
