Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Currently, EMS is being used for non-academic events scheduling in general and only academic events just for the Law school. I have heard that EMS is very robust for the non academic events scheduling but that it still has some hiccups in the academic side, like for the schedule of cross-listed or combined sections.

Pros and Cons

Non academic booking
Keeping all reservations in just one booking
The fact that a reservation can be moved, copied, etc from the booking or calendar view
Printing information easily from most views

Total accurate enrollment counts for combined sections and the optimización process
Coding as “conflicts” spaces used by combined sections

Return on Investment

Save time and money on expeculating on the need to build more spaces or not
Having data to show how rooms outside of the ones administered by my office look

Alternatives Considered

Multiple reservations within the same booking or reservation.

Scalability

I have not fully tested the system. I am only going by what I have heard so far.

Product Configurability

For what I have heard it is easy to configure to the achool’s needs

Likelihood to Recommend

I will have to test the system more on the area of my work. I have just express what I have heard from colleagues from other colleges/schools.

First timer.
