Academic Management Systems, Inc. (AMS) is located in Amherst, NY. AMS was created in 1996 to serve the software development and support needs of the University at Buffalo Health Science Center. On May 1, 2001, AMS became the first software unit on campus to be ‘spun out’ into the University’s small business incubator. In the process, AMS became a subsidiary of Liaison International, Inc. of Watertown, MA who purchased all software licenses from the University as part of this ‘technology transfer’ initiative.
Liaison International, founded in 1992, has served as a provider of Centralized Application Services, Annual Institutional Surveys, Accreditation Management systems and Exam Management software for a wide array of health professions associations and their member institutions. For the fourteen years that AMS has been in business (seven within the University at Buffalo and seven with Liaison) it has focused on the development and support of management software for both health professions’ schools and the larger higher education community. As such, AMS and Liaison have developed an extremely synergistic collaboration.
The AMS office is situated in the Baird Research Park Technology Incubation Center, a facility that is managed by the University at Buffalo. The ‘incubator’ is home to approximately twenty small companies started by entrepreneurial UB faculty members. Western New York has a high concentration of colleges and universities as well as a wide variety of information technology companies. This environment offers a rich pool of talent that we have been able to draw upon as the company continues to grow. AMS has won state-wide recognition for its success as a State University of New York start-up company.
We believe costs related to mandatory academic administrative processes can be kept in check while achieving results that are of high quality and of considerable benefit to the institution. Unlike many enterprise-wide approaches, Academic Management Systems takes an individual approach to offering locally customizable solutions tailored to management tasks that are specific to academic units, without forcing the customer to purchase or adapt to an all-encompassing administrative software product. This approach is more cost effective and targets the needs of the individual unit.
