The project has been designed and developed by the Indian IT giant Wipro. IAF had signed the contract for the project e-MMS with Wipro as a System Integrator (SI) in 2013.

The e-MMS system has a central console that will help IAF to get rid of paper works and heavy logbooks.

It seeks to seamlessly connect squadrons, wings, commands, and Air Headquarters after its implementation.
