Using EMS in Higher Education Events I want the greatest depth and breadth of functionality for managing my space and providing a great experience to my students, faculty and staff Classes I want to maximize the use of my classrooms, both for academic classes and for events or rentals during off-peak times 2
Why EMS Campus? As an Event or Facility Manager I want to see real-time, accurate availability of all space, including classrooms As a Registrar or Provost I want to maximize the utilization of my academic space and increase auxiliary revenue 3
