A Key Participant In The Military Marketplace

Historically when speaking of military applications, we speak of lives that count on reliability of the products that are developed—products that are designed and manufactured to meet the most rugged applications and testing requirements. As witnessed domestically and abroad this is not purely an academic or theoretical exercise. Within the last two decades the course of world events has pulled the United States to the forefront in its military support role as a world leader.

Typically, suppliers that furnish military products are delineated by a set of standards:

• Expertise: Recognition as a global leader in their respective field and having the appropriate background already acknowledged in the marketplace for the assignment at hand.
• Stability: Solid fiscal stability in other market endeavors besides military applications. Not only is this a good measurement for permanence, but also being commercially competitive keeps an entity lean—as it should be for the global marketplace.
• Support: Proven history of customer-centric product support and on time customer delivery deadlines (usually measured as percent of on-time delivery and rated by customers as well as internally).
• Experience: Measurable background in designing and testing for rugged applications as are found in strategic warfare components.
• Technical Support: Staff technical support at hand for development problems that arise in the field, as well as for future modifications to keep the project standards up to date and ahead of the competition.
• Secure Database Systems: An established, concise record keeping system to track configuration management of existing projects in development, in addition to units already delivered to the field.
• Quality: ISO-certifiable facilities, systems and people. Having in place an ISO-accredited system for tracking defects to their solution and a facility that is current with the latest industry standards, staffed with personnel trained to make it all work.

Advanced Input Systems meets or exceeds these requisites as part of its regular business operation. As a result the company has shown remarkable growth in the commercial marketplace worldwide—most notably during years where much of the industry was experiencing either flat or recessionary conditions.
