A BRIEF HISTORY OF ISIS

ISIS was developed with on-going input from many security managers and officers beginning in 1995. Since then, ISIS has been successfully used by hundreds of officers and administrators in many, many environments including world-renown healthcare and educational institutions and nationally recognized residential communities.

But the ISIS story goes back much farther than 1995. ISIS is rooted in the efforts of the Longwood [Harvard] Medical and Academic Committee on Security dating back to 1969 when the Committee, with the help of computer experts at Harvard University and later at Northeastern University’s School of Criminal Justice, saw the need to better collect and analyze data for investigations, cost analysis and effective management decision making.

In summary, we’ve drawn of the ideas and input of many, many talented and dedicated professionals in making ISIS a reality for all. Any oversights and errors you may find in ISIS are, of course, entirely the responsibility of yours truly and our development team.

We are committed to seeing that ISIS continues to grow and expand and have plans in the works to further enhance its functionality and ease of use features.

Everyone at Longwood, and especially our software developers, wish you the very best in using ISIS. We especially look forward to hearing any comments or suggestions you may have for future updates and changes.
