EMS Exchange Room Integration (ERI) Interoperability Between EMS Products and Exchange

EMS Exchange Room Integration allows users to book rooms linked to an Exchange mailbox from native Exchange applications, such as Microsoft Outlook for PC or Mac, Outlook on the web, and Outlook Mobile. Exchange will push these native bookings and updates to EMS. Users can also book these rooms in EMS. Then, the associated Exchange room mailbox gets added to the meeting.

Modifications Made in EMS to Bookings that Were Created in Native Exchange Applications

Only the EMS Desktop Client, EMS Room Sign, and EMS Kiosk allow users to edit bookings created via native Exchange applications. EMS Web App, EMS for Outlook, and EMS Direct Spaces do not allow this due to no process template assigned to reservations when not created through EMS.
