Executive Management System Overview

EMS Introduction

The Executive Management System™ (EMS) is an integral portal that works in conjunction with NDS applications such as Invision™, INSight™, and Edifice™ to support your government office, medical practice, or utility office.  EMS is designed for use by executives and managers who want to display and manipulate key performance indicators and other data from all of the application modules, including the General Ledger.

You can set up the modules to "push" data into EMS, where you can then use a variety of tools including software suites, such as Microsoft Office and Crystal Reports, to manipulate the data into charts, spreadsheets, and reports.
