October 11, 2006—FM:Systems, a leading provider of integrated workplace management systems (IWMS), has partnered with Dean Evans and Associates to integrate that company’s Event Management System (EMS) line of industry-leading room scheduling and hoteling solutions with the FM:Interact Workplace Management Suite.
With EMS , the use of organizational resources – such as conference rooms for meetings or temporary office space for mobile workers (hoteling) – is administered more efficiently and effectively. Facility managers and event managers will save time, reduce errors, and improve collaboration by linking rooms scheduled through EMS with workplace information managed by FM:Interact.
With the integration, the benefits to facilities managers include the ability to:
- Implement room scheduling and office hoteling services
- Add self-service capabilities to the space reservation process
- Track and report on shared space and resource (equipment, catering, etc.) utilization, and generate related charge-backs
The benefits to event managers include the ability to:
- Automate updates to space information, eliminating manual processes to save time and avoid potential scheduling issues
- Access accurate and timely spatial information and reports
- Customize reports for space allocations based on group, building or site
Founded in 1986 and based in Denver, Dean Evans & Associates offers a line of sophisticated software systems for online calendaring, meeting and event management, academic scheduling and office “hoteling.”
FM:Systems, Inc. provides integrated workplace management systems (IWMS) that help facilities and real estate professionals deliver better customer service, reduce costs, and improve the productivity of the entire organization. For more information, see the Web site, as well as the ad on FMLink.
