Overall Satisfaction with EMS Software

We use EMS for classroom scheduling and events that use classrooms.
  • Integration with Banner.
  • Class size optimization.
  • Visual view of course bookings.
  • Classroom Utilization reports. Would like to limit use to 100%. I often get results that are greater than 100% which upper administration does not understand, which makes the reports useless.
  • Sync changes to room capacities. Currently they are manually updated, if at all.
  • Easier set up steps before beginning optimization.
  • Unknown. Previous scheduler preferred schedule 25 for ease of use.
None. Only in position for past 2 years.
In my limited experience, the software is just right.
EMS limits SIS connections to one. Currently on the Auraria Campus in Denver, there are 3 institutions that use shared resources on the same campus. Two of us have our own version of EMS for optimization purposes, then results are uploaded to a Main instance. After the upload, we now need to keep two instances up to date with changes. Much too difficult.
