ISS has a long and successful history of in-house programming dating back to the early days of mainframe computing.  Through close collaboration with County departments and agencies, we build software business solutions tailored to fit the specific needs of our customers.  Numerous County departments and agencies rely upon ISS for developing and maintaining their key business applications. 

Our software development expertise has evolved as the industry shifted to client-server and then web computing platforms.  Most of our newer applications are written utilizing Microsoft's .Net development platform. 

ISS maintains an inventory of more than 300 custom built applications as well as dozens of commercial software vendor packages.  Key in-house developed and commercial software packages are summarized in the link below.
