In June 1995, we broadened our capabilities from managing paper-based information to include the management of electronic information through the acquisition of LANSystems. LANSystems has been a premier provider of information technology services since 1983.

      In February 1996, we began providing IS outsourcing services through our Systems Management Group division. Systems Management Group provides on-site management and administration of servers and desktops including the operation of client help desk functions.
