What BiS-Business Information Solutions, Inc. does

Access Information Management is a private, PE-backed records and information management company founded in 2004 and headquartered in Peabody, Massachusetts, serving more than 33,000 clients across North America and Latin America through a network of 190+ physical service locations and a workforce of 2,900+ employees. The company operates a two-tier portfolio: Access Unify, an AI-powered unified information management platform covering digital records management, retention and privacy compliance (Lifecycle), EHR data archival (Health), and geospatial data archival for the energy sector (Energy); and Access Classic, a traditional physical records service line offering NAID AAA-certified offsite storage, document scanning/imaging, and secure destruction, all managed through the FileBRIDGE client portal. The platform integrates AI-powered box-level and file-level indexing, computer vision for document digitization (True View AI), and predictive analytics for compliance and lifecycle optimization.

Access sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales augmented by inside sales, targeting financial services, healthcare, legal, insurance, energy, government, education, and manufacturing verticals, with healthcare (Best in KLAS Data Archiving, 4 consecutive years) as a flagship. The company is owned by Berkshire Partners and GI Partners, has grown aggressively through decades of acquisitions (CINTAS Document Management, Recall Operations, Arkive, IGS/Virgo, Triyam), and holds a deep compliance certification stack (NAID AAA, SOC 2 Type II, PRISM Privacy+, PCI DSS, EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). It has appeared on the Inc. 5000 for 12 consecutive years with 43% three-year revenue growth.
