Case Study: South Dakota State University achieves stronger data security and scheduling efficiency with Accruent EMS

South Dakota State University cuts reporting from hours to minutes with Accruent EMS

South Dakota State University faced challenges with inconsistent adoption of its on-premises Accruent EMS scheduling system, leading to poor coordination across campus. This vulnerability was catastrophically highlighted when a server accident resulted in the complete loss of years of reservation data, underscoring the risks of local servers and manual maintenance.

The university partnered with Accruent to seamlessly migrate to the cloud-based version of EMS. This solution provided automatic updates, secure backups, and improved reliability. The results included stronger data protection, consistent campus-wide scheduling, and significantly faster reporting. The shift also reduced the IT burden by eliminating server maintenance, giving the university peace of mind.
