COCOA, Florida, June 2, 2008 – ets, Inc. a leading organization and community transformation consulting firm, has been awarded contracts to improve citizens’ access to community-based services for children and seniors in Florida and North Carolina.

According to ets President and Chief Operating Officer, Bob Seemer, “citizens of all ages, in Florida and throughout the nation, are unable to access readily available community services, not because they don’t qualify, but more often because they don’t know what or where the services are, or how to contact them. Furthermore, many people don’t have the patience or experience to successfully navigate existing systems designed to solve one problem at a time.”

The most recent contracts are with Florida’s Division of Blind Services Independent Living Senior Adult Program and Partners for Children and Families of Moore County, North Carolina. “Our goal is to empower citizens to define success and take responsibility for achieving it. To do so, agency and community leaders need to provide the resources and tools. In most cases, the resources are there; however, to overcome a fragmented system of services, tools must be provided which allow easy access”, says Mr. Seemer.

ets’ proprietary software solution, the EZSelf Help System (EZSHS) is designed to enable a family to understand its needs, identify the appropriate service providers, and build a holistic plan to proactively meet those needs, hopefully before a risk develops into a problem. First implemented in Manatee County, Florida, in 2002 for children between the ages of 0-5 years and their families, the EZSHS is strengthening communities in ten (10) Florida counties.
