Re: Scheduling software

[Jim Ketterer]

For the past couple of years we’ve been using the EMS system from these folks with good results: http://www.dea.com/ . I’m not sure if it would address all your needs but you might take a look.  I like it because it has a web interface for the bulk of our internal users. We use it mostly for special events and we use a separate system for ticketing.   Jim Ketterer Senior Director, Information Technology Indiana Historical Society www.indianahistory.org 317-233-6482 jkette...@indianahistory.org       From: Janice [mailto:janice.cradd...@cartermuseum.org] Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 4:32 PM To: mcn-l@mcn.edu Subject: Scheduling software   Has anyone found scheduling software that is uncomplicated and incorporates scheduling all aspects within a Museum?  We mainly have tours, special events, and daily staff meetings that we want to track on one calendar (instead of 10 different public calendars in Outlook!)  It would be nice if it could produce daily and weekly activity reports; monthly and annual statistics, like numbers of attendants to different types of tours and functions; track docent hours based on which tours they were scheduled to do, track resource usage, etc; and give everything to you in one calendar view screen!  And don’t forget unlimited users because we want everyone on staff to be able to view the calendar and may be even book staff meeting rooms.  We looked at Vista, Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge Events module, and ABC Event Manager.  There are things I like about each one of them.  They all seem to focus on different aspects of event planning.  Some on room allocation, some on tracking resources, some on finance, some on ticketing… but, we just haven’t quite found what we need.    So, what software are you using and what do you like/dislike about it?    Janice Craddock Information Technology Manager 817.738.1933  jan...@cartermuseum.org     --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: dmcconvi...@eiteljorg.com To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: jkette...@indianahistory.org To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: rlancefi...@mail.wesleyan.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com
