About The Customer
JAMIS Software is a company that provides ERP and labor tracking software solutions for federal government contractors. The company was founded in 1983 by former government contractors. JAMIS helps service-oriented federal contractors to collect, track and invoice billions of dollars each year through the JAMIS labor management costing and billing system. Their customers range from companies that provide janitorial services on air force bases to those that help NASA design things that go into orbit. The company is headquartered in San Diego, CA, with field operations in NJ, CO and VA.
The Challenge
JAMIS Software, a company that provides ERP and labor tracking software solutions for federal government contractors, was facing limitations due to its aging system built on COBOL and the COBOL-based MCBA accounting system. The company realized that the dated technology was limiting the type and size of customer that would accept their solution. They started to rewrite their code using C# and Visual Studio, but they still needed a replacement for the accounting, job costing and billing components. They believed that by moving to a cloud-based solution built on newer technologies, they could target larger corporations and double the size of the company. However, they needed a contemporary technology overall to help them move to the cloud.
The Solution
JAMIS Software chose to use the Acumatica Cloud xRP Platform to update their system. They wrote two new modules: a government contracting project management module and a human resource module. Then they customized the Acumatica platform. This was possible because all the plumbing, all the adherence to user interface standards and all the security was built in—they didn’t have to program it. They wrote about 150,000 lines of code in 15 months. Development ran smoothly despite a rapid release of Acumatica updates. JAMIS used their own new product for several months, beta-tested it with customers in mid-2013, and began a full roll-out in early 2014.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
