Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our company we utilize [Accruent] EMS for event scheduling and workflow. It is utilized by our Sales, Events, Catering, Facilities, and Operations departments. It allows us to have a single place for all our departments to interact and share the needs and scheduling for all of our event spaces and large conference rooms. It has streamlined the ability of our Events department to collaborate with our Facilities and Catering departments, giving them the ability to clearly communicate needs for each event.

Pros and Cons

Collaboration between departments
Streamline communication
Central point for keeping track of event details

Not always easy to contact support when needed
Lots of pieces to upgrade when applying updates

Return on Investment

Less waste of time when communicating
Allows users to be more productive since all details for events are stored in one place

Alternatives Considered

[Accruent] EMS is very robust, and a great all in one solution for hospitality and Event management needs. I have dealt with a few other software solutions in the past that try to handle event planning and management, but have run into the need to have multiple solutions to handle all those needs.

Scalability

Has ability to scale out with other functionality that can be added.

Product Configurability

We utilize it schedule our catering menus when food service requests are made for event and meeting bookings.

Likelihood to Recommend

[Accruent] EMS has proven to be a very useful tool for us when scheduling and managing our private events. Once users are trained on how to utilize the tool, rarely do they require follow up training. Personally we love the automation of emailing reports to our users and management. We also find the web based schedule very helpful to staff when they are doing setups.

EMS - Event Scheduling and Management all in solution
