What’s Coming for EMS Campus Roadmap for Campus, Campus Planning Interface, and SIS Integrations Matt James EMS Software | Associate Product Manager Friday, January 18, 2019

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

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

History of EMS Campus Started in 1986 at CSU We have over 800 Higher Education customers Campus Planning Interface came in mid-2000’s In 2017, we assigned a product manager (me) to EMS Campus and all related components We’ve been gathering enhancement requests for some time, and…

BEGINNING THIS WINTER The challenges here are a selection of the ones that our customers use EMS to resolve. If we want to add more, we certainly can, but it’s more to set the stage for how we solve the biggest problems. We could spend a day talking about all the small ones.

Near-Term Roadmap for EMS Campus Enhanced resolve screen in the Optimizer Allow multi-building preference, with priority, on course and department level Full location write-back for PeopleSoft Campus Solutions Analysis and Improvement of course synchronization

Enhanced Resolve Screen Current resolve screen is limited Bring functionality from the Academic Browser into resolve Sort, filter, re-order

Google Calendar Integration Many universities are now using the Google ecosystem Allow users to check availability of Google Calendar users and rooms in one place Quicker and more efficient booking process

Multi-Building Preference Many large schools don’t want to set room and feature preferences Also don’t want to go through large course catalogue to set these Add the ability to select more than one building preference on academic units which then applies to courses in those departments

Full Location Write-Back Specific to Campus Solutions customers Enhancing the EMS Campus write-back function for course locations Helpful for customers that use Campus Solutions for course location information

LONGER-TERM ROADMAP

“Less Near-Term” Roadmap Improved provisioning of accounts for Campus Planning Interface Automated delivery of Academic Reports More granular permissions around preference setting CPI Rewrite and move to EMS Platform Services Workday integration Support for Ellucian Ethos (Banner, Colleague) integration Integration with SIS Final Exam tables

Campus Planning Interface Delegate a non-system admin to manage CPI accounts Specify which preferences your CPI users can set; don’t want them flagging courses as ‘Publish in SIS Room’ A complete overhaul of the CPI to modernize the technology, user experience, and consume EMS Platform Services

Campus Planning Interface

Automated Delivery of Academic Reports Schedule your statistical and utilization reports to be delivered on a regular interval to specified email addresses Reduces need for access to and training on the desktop client for users who are only interested in academic reports Never worry about missing a reporting deadline

Student Information System Integrations Move all SIS integrations into EMS Platform Services Add support for Workday Student Add support for Ellucian Ethos – allow EMS and Ellucian products to communicate via web services instead of direct database communication Campus Solutions Online

Final Exam Scheduling Improved ability to review room assignments For SIS’s that have final exam tables, enable read/write functionality Pull in final exam schedule and let EMS find the right space If setting preferences in Campus Solutions, eliminate the need for duplicate effort
