Collaborative Technology Supports Exercises:

Assembling best combination of technologies and support that fulfill customers' requirements

2006 Event Support

Event support is an important pillar of the Partnership for Peace Information Management System (PIMS) overall support to the PfP Community. PIMS supports multinational exercises, conferences, and workshops which are sponsored by U.S. Combatant Commands and conducted In-the-Spirit-Of (ISO) the Partnership for Peace. These exercises result in increased capability for Partners to interoperate in a coalition environment. PIMS tailors its support package to meet the unique requirements of and security cooperation goals of each event.

PIMS end-to-end event support capabilities are designed to increase participant interaction so that groups can work together before, during and after the exercise. PIMS assembles the best combination of internet technology, satellite connectivity, hardware & software, and human resources to meet the requirements of the event. End-to-end means that PIMS provides a full range of capabilities and services including comprehensive connectivity, event websites, and IT experts to train and assist planners and participants. PIMS capabilities support the entire event life cycle - from concept development to after-action support. Most event websites are used year after year, building an online knowledge and lessons learned repository on the recurring event.
