New Version of Powerful Web Calendar System Released by Dean Evans & Associates, Inc.

EMS Master Calendar(TM) 3.0 Sports Enhanced Interface, New Functionality


DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - May 11, 2009) - Dean Evans & Associates, Inc. has released EMS Master Calendar Version 3.0, the latest update to their popular interactive web calendar software. The system, which is used to generate centrally-located calendars that authorized "calendar managers" can maintain from anywhere, has a redesigned interface and many powerful new features, including:

--  Ability to display system-wide announcements
--  User-defined links to third party applications (ticketing,
    registration, mapping, etc.) with custom icons
--  Enhanced event search and editing
--  Color coding by event type
--  Ability to specify a future date for the posting of events
--  New color and icon set options for even easier branding
--  Tighter integration with their room and resource scheduling systems
    

"The system has a new 'look and feel,' but that's just the tip of the iceberg," says Chris Meyers, lead developer on the project. "The usability enhancements, as well as a number of technical modifications under the hood, are what will give calendar managers and website visitors a significantly improved experience."

"Cities, campuses, corporations and other organizations are becoming keenly aware that easy access to information on meetings and events increases awareness, attendance and, in many cases, revenue," says Kevin Raasch, executive vice president for Dean Evans & Associates. "Simply posting a notice on your website or on a shareware calendar is not enough. You need a system that provides a whole host of tools for keeping people informed: email reminders, calendar subscriptions, attachment capability for flyers, photos, etc. In this economy, no opportunity to inform and entice potential attendees can be overlooked."

Organizations with a current Annual Service Agreement (ASA) can log in to the company's website to download the new release.
