Automated room assignment software streamlines the process of academic scheduling. With a sophisticated system like EMS Campus, data on courses and instructors is processed by an algorithm that determines the most effective course schedules.
Specifically, through integration with a campus' Student Information System (either a commercial system like Ellucian's Banner or Colleague, Jenzabar, PeopleSoft, etc., or a custom system), course and instructor information is pulled into EMS where course requirements, instructor preferences and more are applied and used to develop scheduling scenarios from which to choose.
There are many benefits to using automated room assignment software including the time saved over manually assigning courses to rooms, the optimized room utilization (and the resulting ability to add more courses without adding more space) that comes from having all the possibilities analyzed programatically, and more.
The automated room assignment capability in EMS Campus is just one aspect of what is a complete campus scheduling solution that can also be used for scheduling events of any size (from small, one-time meetings to large, multi-day conferences) in any type of facility (multi-use, performing arts, sports, etc.).
