Overall Satisfaction with EMS Software

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

[It's] Used by the entire college for events and room scheduling; specifically used through the registrar's office for class scheduling purposes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Easy to view details of room assignments (class size etc.)
No double bookings (unless notified so you can fix)
Easy to integrate

Cons

Coding conflicts, shared meeting times
Communication for conflicts/academic bumps
Non-rolling

Return on Investment

Negative - room conflicts; takes days to sort out
Positive - quick sync/integration - time/day changes can be seen instantly after a sync
Easy to differentiate if conflict is due to another class or event - allows user to contact appropriate person/office

Alternatives Considered

Just started using EMS in my role, so this was something I came into...

Scalability

Improvements can be made to maximize scalability

Product Configurability

Seems as though EMS will work with you through this. I have not been working with EMS long enough to see just how extensive this is.

Integration between a student system and EMS for room scheduling purposes. While it is a long process to weed out room conflicts, because these are not automatic through EMS, it is nice to have the 'sync' feature that can update immediately.
