DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - April 29, 2008) - Dean Evans & Associates (DEA) (www.dea.com), a
leading provider of facility scheduling, office hoteling and resource
management systems, recently concluded their second annual Event Management
System (EMS) Corporate Summit. Held at the New York City headquarters of
one the world's largest financial services companies, the event was
attended by representatives from 25 industry leaders in fields ranging from
law to IT consulting to corporate accounting.
"The Corporate Summit provides personal, immediate access to top executives
within DEA, which is extremely valuable to Crowe as we make changes to our
hoteling processes," said Sandi Heaney, an Enterprise Solutions manager for
Crowe Chizek and Company LLC. "I've seen the new version of the EMS
software due out in May, which has changes that were a direct result from
last year's summit. It's very impressive."
Among the topics of discussion at the Summit were the challenges these
organizations face in rolling out a room scheduling application to a global
audience, and how the even greater flexibility in the latest versions of
EMS simplify that task. "When you're operating offices worldwide, you have
to address some very diverse facility scheduling and resource management
needs," says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president of Dean Evans &
Associates. "EMS products have always been flexible and scalable, but some
of the advancements in the new versions had attendees really sitting up and
taking notice."
As part of the two day summit, DEA President Dean Evans and other senior
staff gave attendees a sneak peek at soon-to-be-released versions of EMS
Enterprise™ and the renamed EMS Workplace office hoteling product. Also
demonstrated were new interactive floor plan functionality and an enhanced
scheduling kiosk program.
