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spaces, hoteling or hot desking, and open floor plans can provide efficiencies, but not when burdened with redundant, outdated tools, and processes disconnected from the rest of a business.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.

EMS is the solution for you!
Currently EMS is being used globally at my account. We use EMS for space management, video conferencing, catering and audio visual equipment inventory.

Happy customer!
EMS is used in our student center on campus. Students, faculty, and staff are able to view spaces and book rooms in the building on their own. This saves me a lot of time from inputting repetitive info. I use EMS to communicate with all of our service providers as well and producing quality data.

Loving EMS
We use EMS for events on campus, disposal requests, and video permits.

A very extensive program that can do most anything
We use EMS to schedule event spaces in the Student Union, our Housing facilities and our School of Continuing Education. We also use it to invoice/bill for Marketing pieces and assign marketing locations. In addition, we give the ability for student organizations to get permission to set up food sale fundraisers.

EMS helps you enjoy mastering schedules.
Several of our hospitals use EMS to schedule conference rooms in various departments. Each hospital has at least one administrator who assists with day to day issues. Unfortunately, each site has their own ways of using scheduling for their EMS. However, many of the locations include room and catering within EMS. Each site also has the web option of EMS to allow people to request space.

Museum Venue uses EMS for Internal Department Communication & Special Event Planning
We use EMS for two purposes. Each department in our museum uses EMS to book meeting spaces and plan their own internal events or events on behalf of the museum. I work in the Culinary/Special Events department. We work with external clients to plan private events at the museum. We use EMS during our whole process. We create bookings, build BEOS and invoice through EMS.
EMS helps everyone know what is happening in the building at any given time. We have many people and programs at the museum at any given time and we're able to give internal departments ability to see everything that is happening. We also use it as a communication tool. We have programmed several notifications that notify specific departments about reservations and resources. We also use the reporting function every day across departments.

EMS review
EMS is currently used across the entire university campus. Currently all the spaces on campus are built into EMS, I am working on getting people in those departments to be on board with using EMS and having their spaces be reservable through the web app for students and departments.
October 03, 2018
EMS is the only way to go!
We use it for room reservations, all event service orders, Master Calendar, integrations with digital signage. Used across the entire campus, and multiple service provider managers. EMSWebApp is primary access point for people to request use of space, or self-serve spaces.
Cuts down on double-bookings, and ease of communication between service providers.
October 03, 2018
Looking forward to using EMS at Princeton!
We are new clients and in the implementation phase. It will be used broadly across campus, but will not capture every space as the university does not mandate its use.

EMS is the best Room Scheduling product available!!
TIAA uses EMS across the entire organization and for some of our affiliates. By integrating the Outlook Plug-in, we made a one stop shop experience and enabled meetings to be booked in Outlook while adding Webex, inviting people, and including attachments, etc.

EMS is the only solution for your organization
We primarily use EMS software to manage and book conference rooms. Clients within our organization book over 15,000 meetings per year. They can also select services and resources like AV equipment, or request a technician. For larger events, we use EMS as an event management tool for organization of event services and billing to clients after the event. Other departments use EMS to support our conference rooms, whether it’s catering to verify order locations, setup/cleanup staff, facility maintenance, etc.

U of R loves EMS.
We use EMS to manage classroom, meeting and event space. As well as non-room items like banner space, or van use. We also use EMS to manage services, manage classroom support, invoice and track payments. EMS is used across most of the university. From the Memorial Art Gallery, to the Eastman School of Music, athletics, student activities, Med Center.....etc. It allows the multiple entities to share common space, such as our registrar, events, and student activities.
EMS Software is being used by several of the schools at the University of Rochester. EMS Software is used to manage spaces used for instruction, athletics and our Memorial Art Gallery.

EMS Administrator's Review
We are a conference center that purchased EMS Campus to replace our reservations system. Since EMS Campus includes unlimited users, we began to roll out EMS to other College/Schools/Units. We have sold 8 shares of EMS throughout campus and have onboarded units with unique spaces such as Parking and Transportation and Marine Science Institute. the roll out has been a tremendous success and we'll continue to expand our reach.

EMS for Higher Ed
McCombs School of Business has been using EMS for over a year now and has had tremendous success with the product. EMS replaced a home-grown system and has allowed us to scale our space requests more efficiently to accommodate our new graduate building. We would not have been able to quickly quintuple the number of reservable spaces without the help and ease of EMS.

EMS: Scalable Room and Resource Management System
EMS is being used in multiple operations on campus all managing space and physical resources in different ways. EMS allow us to provide a flexible option for managing individual operations on a shared license to reduce costs.

My EMS Snapshot
EMS schedules all of our facility space for Carmichael Complex. It is a 350,000 square foot wellness center that houses informal recreation, academic classes and varsity athletics. All facility spaces are in EMS for users (internal and external) to reserve space. EMS helps us reserve, schedule and bill organizations for utilizing Carmichael Complex.

Ride the EMS WAVE~~
We use the software for academic scheduling and event management. We currently have EMS deployed in three major event venues with the plans to bring others on board in the spring semester. The software addresses the utilization need for the academic side, and a centralized point of reference for the events side.

EMS review

Can’t Beat EMS
At the University of Wisconsin it is being used by multiple departments but not everyone (School of Business, Intercollegiate Athletics, Student Unions, Student Activity Center, School of Education). These groups (including us) mainly use this this system for event reservations. Academic scheduling is done through another software. In the Division of Recreational Sports we use the system to schedule all of our facilities (indoor and outdoor) for basic usage, internal programs (intramurals, fitness), academic classes that take place in the gyms along with facility rentals. We use the Web application, invoicing is done through the system and we use the API for specific parts of our organization's website for schedules (building hours, todays schedule of group fitness classes, etc). EMS helps us stay organized and helps us maximize the use of our spaces. It takes away a lot of human error with scheduling and invoicing.
