Executive Management Software (EMS) is developed by Union College Information Systems under the direction of the Mid-America Union Conference of Seventh-day Adventists.

The EMS Project was started in 1983. When the new General Conference Academy Fund Accounting Manual was released, the software was upgraded in 1987 to handle the new specifications. This package is written for the specific needs of SDA academies. For example, the Payroll module will automatically create an Accounts Receivable batch which allows the students' net earnings to be credited directly to their bills. Also, the Accounts Receivable statement has special sections for payroll and budget information. In General Ledger, you can print most of the reports found in the Academy Accounting Manual. The software is continually being updated with improvements suggested by the users. Because of the financial constraints on most academies, every effort has been made to make the initial cost of the software, as well as the support fees, as low as possible. In addition, the software is written for low-cost industry standard equipment which many schools already own.
