2. 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

3. 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

4. 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…

5. 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.

6. 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

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

8. 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

9. 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

10. 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

11. LONGER-TERM ROADMAP

12. “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

13. 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

14. Campus Planning Interface

15. Automated Delivery of Academic Reports
Schedule your statistical and utilization reports to be delivered on a regular interval to specified 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

16. 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

17. 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
