Mobile Device Capability Available in Latest Release of Popular Room and Resource Scheduling Software

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 21, 2009) - Dean Evans & Associates (www.dea.com) today announced the official rollout of new versions of their facility scheduling and resource management products. Used at more than 3,600 customer sites in the U.S. and abroad, EMS (Event Management System) software provides powerful tools for helping organizations be more efficient at reserving rooms, resources and personnel for meetings and events, managing resource inventories and communicating details to staff, meeting organizers and attendees.

"While Virtual EMS Mobile™, our new mobile device capability, was originally envisioned for use by business travelers who needed to request space at their company's facilities while on the road, it has been added to all of our scheduling products and will be a useful tool for customers in all the industries we serve," says Ed Nowak, the company's director of product development.

Virtual EMS Mobile allows users of most newer generation cell phones (including those running Windows Mobile®, BlackBerry® devices and iPhones®) to access a cell phone-optimized version of the optional Virtual EMS web interface in order to:

--  Make single-day room requests for up to seven days into the future
--  View a list of their requests for this week and the following week
--  Cancel requests
    

Other features in the latest releases include significant catering enhancements (such as the ability to define Production Areas), additional real estate utilization reporting and "business intelligence" capability, and new academic scheduling functionality.

Detailed information on the new versions of each of the products in the EMS suite is available now in free webinars (www.dea.com/NewsAndEvents/FreeWebinars.aspx), directly from the company's sales representatives and at www.dea.com.
