Vision:

No one is better qualified to define needs than the user. Furthermore, a group of qualified users can determine needs better than the single user. Traditional methods of group decision making tend to be both cumbersome and unproductive. EMS is committed to applying innovative technology to overcome conventional group decision-making problems. Our distinction is our ability to apply this technology in delivering implemented solutions.

Electronic Meeting Systems (EMS) is one of five specialized branches comprising the Interagency Applications Division (IA) of Information Systems Directorate Office within the Corporate Information
Center (CIC) of Redstone Arsenal's US Army
Missile Command Center.
