The Employee Location Management System (ELMS) is a web-based application that enables organisations to quickly locate their employees and respond effectively in an emergency. In the event of an incident such as a terrorist attack, civil unrest or an environmental disaster, ELMS helps organisations identify those who are safe, and focus attention on those who are in need of assistance or unaccounted for. ELMS then provides organisations with a mechanism that enables them to communicate with those affected by a crisis, and to coordinate an effective response.
