Decision Support Systems (DSS) are interactive computer-based systems that help humans identify and solve complex problems. A DSS can be a stand-alone solution but is often integrated with data acquisition, interactive electronic technical manuals, knowledge bases, online help, training and simulation, modeling algorithms, and other technologies. DSS-based solutions are widely deployed in business, engineering, military, and medical environments where the amount of information available may be overwhelming or delay actions of the unaided human performers. Decision-making tools increase productivity, efficiency, and effectiveness providing a comparative advantage in the real-world.
Electronic training aids and emulators are common in military and commercial environments where it is prohibitively expensive or simply too dangerous to allow trainees to use the real equipment in the real world. These environments rely on technology to provide electronic emulations and training devices to provide the trainee with skills and knowledge development in realistic, safe, and controlled settings. ILS-INC is experienced in the development, application, and deployment of a wide range of electronic training products ranging from simple animations to complex system emulators.
The internet, coupled with low-cost, high-power, portable computing devices, has led to a highly computer-literate society with an expectation for online, on-demand access to all forms of information and skills-development products. Technological advances during the mid-1990s to today have resulted in wide-spread adoption of Electronic Performance Support Systems (EPSS) in projects of all sizes within all industries. An EPSS represents a coordination and integration of electronic tools available to and easily accessible by the user capable of providing immediate and individualized online information, guidance, assistance, assessment, and monitoring solutions permitting optimized on-the-job human performance with minimal support and interventions by others.
