Company Mission Statement

At VR Systems, our vision is an elections community that conducts successful elections, every time. To bring this vision into reality, we strive to provide the best products, services, and support to enable election officials to secure the public’s trust in democracy. Put another way, our teams work on things that have a higher purpose than simply making a profit.

Company Description

When applying for a job, we believe it’s important for you to know about the workplace culture. VR Systems, Inc. is a 100% employee‑owned business, and our company culture is family‑like. We are the leading voter registration and elections management company in Florida and have a growing market share in other states. We are a fast‑growing company of nearly 50 people, forming a closely knit team of software engineers and customer support technicians. The company has a reputation for providing effective software with a high level of customer service for elections administrators.

We are not a publicly traded company, and as such, we are not beholden to the demands of outside shareholders or investors; we make decisions that are in the best interest of our customers and our employees. We are not a start‑up company that could close shop if the next round of venture capital does not come through. We are also not a large corporation or government agency with burdensome bureaucracy. What we are is a small‑to mid‑sized company, and that smaller size allows us to be nimble and to make quick, agile adjustments in a constantly evolving IT field.
