Teksouth Corporation a veteran systems integrator providing data management and business intelligence systems, recently announced it has been awarded a five-year, $17.2 million contract from the United States Air Force to administer a sophisticated data warehouse used by the Air Force to manage the execution of its $40 billion worldwide Operations and Maintenance budget.

The decision continues Teksouth’s successful, decade-long relationship with the Air Force.  Teksouth built the data warehousing system, the Commander’s Resource Integration System (CRIS), and has maintained the system ever since.  Today under Teksouth’s management, more than 14,000 Air Force personnel worldwide, with appropriate security, access the information contained in the data warehouse simultaneously, 24 hours a day, and rapidly obtain answers to questions that maximize financial performance, controlling costs, thus helping to save taxpayers money.

“The Air Force has come to rely on Teksouth’s expertise to help it better manage the funds it receives,” said Steve Wilsher, Teksouth’s Chief Executive Officer.  “With its global presence, the Air Force must be able to quickly analyze huge amounts of financial data.   CRIS fulfills that need.  I’m pleased that Teksouth, with its headquarters here in Alabama, will continue to play a significant role in assisting our government in this key area.”
