Overall Satisfaction with EMS Software
I use EMS in the Dept. of Athletics, PE and Recreation at MIT (DAPER).
It is also used for Campus Activities and a few other departments.
DAPER uses EMS to schedule Intercollegiate Athletics, PE Classes, Intramurals, Club Sports, Institute Events and recreational use. We also rent space to non-MIT users for large events.

- Ease of use. Many reports. Complex reservations with billing and invoicing
- The Web App is used by student groups and other Departments to request space for both casual use and large events.
- We use the Academic Import Utility for both classes and Intercollegiate contests and practices.
- We recently got an upgrade, but now the system seems to have slowed down and is sometimes unresponsive.
- Entering building hours and holidays for a year can be time consuming.
- I would like to be able to edit text within the Comments section.
- At this point, we couldn’t live without it!
- We are able to schedule a wide variety of athletic facilities, both inside and outside, using the same reservation system.
- We have also added a Building called "Off Site" for all our Athletic Contests that are held off campus.
We did a review of other products a few years ago, but EMS was the only product that fully met our needs. Unfortunately, I can’t remember the other company names, but they were the main competitors of EMS. EMS was much more far reaching and applicable for many types of reservations and departments on campus.
