Case Study: South Dakota State University streamlines event management with Accruent EMS

How South Dakota State Management With Ems University Streamlined Event

South Dakota State University faced fragmented event scheduling across campus, with departments using a mix of EMS on-premises, spreadsheets and other tools, which made it hard to maintain consistency, visibility and data security. After a server failure caused major data loss, the university needed a more reliable way to manage its 13 conference spaces, 106 facilities and 92 users, and turned to Accruent’s EMS cloud platform.

Accruent helped South Dakota State University migrate to the cloud-based EMS solution with testing and guidance that made the transition seamless. The new system centralized scheduling, improved reporting, enabled access from anywhere and eliminated dependence on local servers and backups. As a result, SDSU reduced the risk of data loss, cut reporting time from hours or days to minutes, improved campus-wide consistency and lowered the IT burden with automatic updates and redundancy.
