February 11, 2009—Dean Evans & Associates, Inc. has announced the successful implementation of EMS Workplace facility scheduling and resource management software by one of the “Big Four” accounting firms. The system is now being used to manage the meetings, events and shared workspaces in more than 26,000 rooms in 105 buildings.
“It goes without saying that the current economic situation has made efficiency more critical than ever for US businesses,” said Kevin Raasch, executive vice president for Dean Evans & Associates.
Since the phased implementation began in June 2008, the organization has created nearly four million bookings in the system, including reservations for shared workspaces in support of an “office hoteling” strategy that saves millions of dollars annually in real estate costs, says the company.
Six hundred people will be using the system on a regular basis to coordinate meetings and events, print reports, and more, but all of the company’s nearly 30,000 employees will have access to scheduling data through Virtual EMS, the system’s Web interface.
Founded in 1986 and based in Denver, Dean Evans & Associates offers a line of sophisticated software systems for shared workspace management (office “hoteling”), facility scheduling, resource management, academic scheduling and online calendaring. For more information, see the company’s Web site.
