AIS

What AIS does

Alliance Information Systems, LLC (AIS) is a privately held IT consulting and staffing firm headquartered in Madison, Wisconsin, founded in 2007. The company delivers five interconnected service lines — SharePoint consulting, custom software development, project management, IT infrastructure support, and staff augmentation — supplemented by a permanent placement recruiting capability. AIS targets both government (state-level agencies) and commercial clients, with cited historical engagements at Fortune 100 enterprises including Intel and HP, alongside state government and insurance industry customers referenced in client testimonials.

The firm's technical expertise spans Microsoft technologies (.NET, VB.NET, SharePoint), Java development, and database management (Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2), with web development capabilities across XML, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. AIS leverages 50+ years of combined consultant experience in project management, system architecture, integration, and development, positioning itself as a boutique provider of tailored IT consulting and staffing rather than a scaled platform or product play. The underlying delivery model is consultant-centric — matching individual expertise to project requirements rather than deploying proprietary technology or repeatable IP.

AIS operates a sales-led, professional services business model with three core revenue streams: project-based IT consulting, staff augmentation (deploying qualified personnel for workload surges, migrations, and special projects), and permanent placement services (contingency and retained search). Pricing is entirely quote-based and tailored to individual project requirements, with no publicly disclosed rate cards or tiered offerings. Client engagement is direct, conducted through phone (608-572-7656) and email ([email protected]), with marketing primarily through a basic corporate website and client testimonials. Geographic focus is concentrated in the Midwest United States, and the firm has no disclosed investors, parent company, or institutional ownership.
