EMS Workplace - Shared Workspace Management (Hoteling) and Facility Scheduling Software

Shared workspace management plus room and resource scheduling

Organizations with a mobile workforce or flexible work arrangements are realizing significant savings in real estate and related overhead by adopting a hoteling or hot-desking strategy - allotting workspace on an as-needed basis in order to accommodate more people in less space. EMS Workplace™ was created to provide organizations with a powerful yet easy-to-use facility scheduling system to manage even the most complex hoteling requirements, as well as the booking of meeting/event space and resources. Features include:

  • Intuitive tools for finding and booking available office space
  • Check In/Out capability for monitoring no-shows
  • Back-end "business intelligence" processes for generating benchmarks, monitoring utilization and identifying trends
  • Interactive Floor Plans for booking and wayfinding
  • Detailed reports including operational schedules, no-show lists, transition reports, etc.
  • And much more...

EMS Workplace is the most flexible hoteling software available, allowing different office locations within your organization to operate independently or under a unified set of business rules. Highly scalable and versatile, EMS Workplace leverages the power of Microsoft SQL Server™ to track a limitless number of office spaces, conference rooms and meeting-related services in your offices around the world.

Easy Access to Schedule Clarity

When it comes to effective use of your rooms and resources, ease of access to scheduling information is key. While your EMS system administrators and facility managers will typically utilize the powerful "client" application via the desktop or web interface, the majority of your users will access the system in other ways for different purposes. For example…

  • From the road to get details on a scheduled event or space availability
  • To reserve a room on-the-spot for an impromptu gathering
  • From within Microsoft Outlook® to invite attendees and book the room and resources for a meeting

With the “Enterprise-level” EMS scheduling systems (EMS Enterprise™, EMS Workplace™, EMS Campus™ and EMS Legal™), there are access methods to support any mix of space management approaches: centralized, self-service from the web, walk-up or Outlook-based.

Virtual EMS™ (Web Interface)

Leverage the power of the internet with this web-enabled module for EMS Workplace™. Virtual EMS provides fully interactive, real-time access to scheduling information via the internet or your organization's intranet. Website visitors can browse the calendar or search for specific events from any computer with an internet browser. Authorized users (employees in your organization, meeting organizers, facility staff, etc.) can, depending on the level of access granted, submit room requests or create self-service reservations directly from the web through a secure, user-friendly interface.

The best way to learn more about Virtual EMS is to test drive it yourself using our live demonstration (Please call 800-440-3994 x863 today for a personalized demonstration, in which you can see additional, behind-the-scenes features that aren't accessible without login authorization.)

Floor Plan Module

Adding the Floor Plan module gives Virtual EMS users (and EMS Kiosk users, if applicable) an even more visual way to locate, evaluate and book the reservable space in your facility. Floor Plans also provide a means of wayfinding to see exactly where a colleague is sitting or a meeting is taking place.

Integrated Authentication

 (PDF Icon Datasheet)

This module establishes the tightest integration possible between Virtual EMS and your network or web portal. Integrated authentication works with Microsoft Active Directory or your custom web portal to streamline web account maintenance for administrators and eliminate extra steps for end-users.

HR Integration Toolkit

 (PDF Icon Datasheet)

This behind-the-scenes utility keeps contact information in EMS up-to-date, synchronizing it with another system that contains employee data (HR database, Active Directory, etc.). This module automates the maintenance of contact names, email addresses, billing information, web accounts and more including additions, changes and inactivations. The toolkit includes up to one day of remote consulting to configure and fine tune the integration for your environment.
