Access Sciences

What Access Sciences does

Access Sciences is a Houston-based, employee-owned professional services firm founded in 1985 by Janice C. Anderson, specializing in information management, technology consulting, and managed services. The firm organizes its delivery around three core service lines: Information Strategy (planning and roadmap development for unstructured content), Technology, Governance, and Change Management (implementation of enterprise content management and change management), and Managed Services (ongoing embedded records management and document control operations). Under these, it markets discrete offerings including Engineering Information Management (EIM), Records Management Operations for State Agencies, Document Control as a Service (DCaaS), and Building Information Modeling (BIM).

The firm implements and configures third-party enterprise platforms rather than building its own software — primary technology partners include Microsoft (Gold-Certified Partner implementing Office 365, SharePoint Online, Teams, Power Apps, Power Automate) and IBM (FileNet and Content Navigator implementations, including migrations from legacy Content Manager). Proprietary assets include the Modus Records Retention Schedules methodology, custom FileNet migration tools, and a Records Management Portal that consolidates digital and physical records. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015 certification and is WBENC women-owned and ESOP certified.

Access Sciences generates revenue through professional services engagements (project-based statements of work and time-and-materials billing) and recurring managed services contracts under multi-year terms. Its Texas DIR Deliverables-Based IT Services (DBITS) contract (DIR-CPO-5883) provides a procurement vehicle for Texas state and local government work, with individual SOW values capped at $5M for state agencies and $10M for non-state entities. The firm targets Fortune 100 enterprises alongside state and municipal government agencies across verticals including petrochemicals, semiconductor manufacturing, public sector, engineering and construction, power and utilities, and life sciences. Notable clients include the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (15+ year relationship), Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, Austin Convention Center, and global semiconductor and chemical manufacturers. The firm operates from offices in Houston (HQ), Baton Rouge, Arizona, and Oregon, with reported engagement reach across 40+ countries.

Core offering

Access Sciences is an information management services firm that delivers professional consulting and managed services to help organizations organize, govern, and leverage their unstructured information assets.

Product overview

Access Sciences is an information management services firm that does not sell a packaged software product; instead, it delivers a portfolio of professional and managed services organized around four core service lines: Information Strategy (planning and roadmap development), Technology, Governance, and Change Management (implementation and execution), and Managed Services (ongoing embedded operations). Under these core services, Access Sciences offers named service line brochures including Engineering Information Management (EIM), Records Management Operations for State Agencies, Document Control as a Service (DCaaS), and Building Information Modeling (BIM). The firm also holds a Texas DIR Deliverables-Based IT Services (DBITS) contract enabling it to provide IT services to state and local government agencies. Access Sciences implements and configures third-party platforms (Microsoft Office 365/SharePoint, IBM FileNet) as part of its service delivery but does not manufacture its own software product.

Broad incumbents

Comparable in delivering SharePoint, cloud migration, and information management programs, though Accenture operates at vastly larger scale with broader capabilities including AI, data engineering, and custom software development.

Comparable to Access Sciences in customer problem space (information governance, content lifecycle) but operates as a product vendor with a global services arm rather than a pure-play consultancy.
• Capgemini Invent: Global consulting and digital transformation services firm with deep industrial and public sector practices. Comparable in delivering content management, cloud migration, and managed services engagements, particularly to European-headquartered multinationals overlapping Access Sciences' global semiconductor and chemicals clients.

Comparable in advising and implementing information management, ERP, and digital transformation programs for Fortune 100 clients, but with much broader functional scope and significantly larger delivery capacity.

Comparable in delivering IT modernization, ERP, and managed services to government clients through similar procurement vehicles, though CGI operates at significantly larger scale and broader functional scope.

Regional players
