Systems Consulting Services, Inc.
SCSI was originally established as a consulting firm and, from its inception and throughout most of 1988, continued to operate solely as a consulting business (adding such clients as Coca-Cola Enterprises, Martin Marietta, and Dun & Bradstreet.) In late 1988 however, the principals recognized that consulting revenues tend to fluctuate and began to shift the company's strategy to focus on software development, offering unique software products in niche markets.
Expanding its relationship with Dun & Bradstreet(D&B), the company developed its flagship software product: Business Information Analysis System(BIAS). BIAS was originally produced to allow mainframe and minicomputer access to D&B's information sources. For the first time, subscribers to D&B's services could electronically access D&B data from their office workstations. BIAS has since been modified to incorporate access to Experian(formerly TRW) Commercial and Consumer, TransUnion, Equifax, ChoicePoint, and ISO as well as other information sources. Moreover, BIAS has evolved into a complete automated solution. BIAS users can now file retrieved bureau reports in a BIAS database, add outside financial information to the database, and analyze information employing user defined parameters. BIAS has become SCSI's main source of revenue and is currently being simplified to provide an "off the shelf" model to market to smaller businesses.
