Informs has been providing state and local governments with information technology services and systems since its inception in 1979. The Company has hundreds of person years of experience in successfully providing its services for clients who range from the very small to the very large. The range of services extend from providing information technology needs analyses through the definition, design, development, implementation and post implementation support of both custom built and commercial off-the-shelf information systems.

The Company has implemented financial management systems, human services support systems, large-scale department of transportation construction project management systems, human resources management systems, and enterprise-wide purchasing systems.

The Company possesses particular expertise in government-oriented materials management systems related to procurement of goods and services, inventory management and disposition of surplus and excess assets.

That particular expertise has led to the development of the Informs Advanced Government Purchasing System (AGPS) -- which has been successfully implemented as the enterprise-wide solution in seven large state governments and two very large counties. Today, tens of thousands of state and local government users from coast-to-coast use AGPS each year to acquire billions of dollars of goods and services.
