What Software Information Systems does

Software Information Systems, LLC (SIS) is a privately held managed IT solutions provider headquartered in Lexington, Kentucky, founded in 1982 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Converge Technology Solutions since January 2019. The company delivers managed cloud delivery, compute efficiency, network optimization, storage optimization, and IT spend optimization services to enterprise clients whose IT infrastructure is mission-critical. Its core platform consists of a private cloud delivery infrastructure that enables customers to self-provision and manage cross-platform capabilities for Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), backup, resiliency, and security of hosted workloads.

The product portfolio is delivered as an integrated managed service stack rather than discrete standalone products. Core offerings include managed cloud delivery solutions, IaaS, backup, and resiliency services, complemented by compute efficiency, network optimization, storage optimization, and IT spend optimization services. The platform's stated differentiator is integration and interoperability — enabling cross-platform workload management across heterogeneous infrastructure environments for organizations that require continuous availability of mission-critical assets.

SIS monetizes through managed services engagements with enterprise clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing model or contract structure. The company operates on a horizontal go-to-market approach targeting any enterprise organization with mission-critical IT infrastructure needs, distributing primarily through direct enterprise sales relationships. Following its acquisition by Converge Technology Solutions, SIS retains operational independence and brand identity while gaining access to a broader Hybrid IT portfolio spanning cloud platforms, cybersecurity, digital infrastructure, and managed services across North America.
