Computer Applications Specialists, Inc. (CAS) is one of the largest IBM Premier Business Partners in the Mid-Atlantic region. CAS specializes in the development of comprehensive computer solutions including Web enabled software, network hardware infrastructure, and a broad array of programming and support services across multiple platforms.

Regardless of whether you use Windows NT, Novell, Unix, or iSeries (AS/400), CAS can provide you with the expertise you need. For everything from a new Web site to the complete replacement of your mission critical applications software, CAS has the products and services required to accomplish your goals.

Since 1978, CAS has successfully assisted a long list of local and national firms and government agencies with the installation and implementation of their computer systems. With a 31,000 square foot headquarters facility in Laurel, Maryland and local offices throughout the Mid-Atlantic area, CAS has grown to meet the needs of a wide range of customers. CAS is a technical company with 100 employees that hold over 70 technical certifications covering Microsoft NT, Novell, pSeries (RS/6000), iSeries (AS/400), Lotus and other technologies.

CAS is expert in advanced technologies such as Lotus Domino, e-Commerce, and High Availability. CAS has a broad repertoire of programming skills including Java, C++, Visual Basic, ILE RPG, SQL Server, and Cobol, and has the resources necessary to modify a report or write an entire system in the programming language of your choice. CAS is also skilled at deploying resources to modernize your legacy applications by enhancing them with Web enabled graphical user interfaces (GUI) and client/server front-ends. This is advantageous for companies that have a substantial investment in applications software that contains all of the required functionality but has an outdated look and feel.

CAS offers both cross-industry and industry specific application solutions. For all customers, regardless of industry, CAS provides servers, networks and technical services for Windows NT, Novell, Unix and iSeries installations. CAS actively markets four software application products, three developed, marketed and supported by CAS, and one provided by Lawson. The internally developed software products are the MPAct/CS application for the not-for-profit, association and fund raising industry, the Advanced Business System (ABS) for accounting, sales and inventory applications, and LMAS application for retail, distribution, and light manufacturing companies. To meet the needs of CAS' larger customers or customers with more complex functional requirements, CAS sells and supports Lawson Software's Insight software suite. Lawson's Insight suite provides modules for distribution, accounting, and human resources. In order to increase the value of both CAS and Lawson software products for our customers, CAS provides extensive technical support including customization, training, consulting, implementation and on-going support.
