Is EMS Growing with You?

25Live connects academic scheduling, event management, resource and space analytics, real-time SIS data, and student engagement in one unified platform.

Campus scheduling extends far beyond reserving rooms and managing events.

25Live connects academic scheduling, event management, resource and space analytics, real-time SIS data, and student engagement in one unified platform.

For institutions evaluating EMS and CollegeNET, the real question is how broadly a scheduling solution can serve the campus today, and how well it can grow with the institution's increasingly connected needs tomorrow. With real-time bidirectional SIS synchronization built and maintained entirely in-house, unlimited user licensing, and a single platform spanning academic and event scheduling, 25Live is built to scale alongside those needs as they grow.
