Many improvements have been made to the CAD software since the original version was written in 1983. With each new installation, new ideas are introduced and enhancements are made. There have been numerous update releases of CAD over the years and new enhancements are being made constantly.

After completing the first CAD release, we talked with government agencies across the country to gather ideas for our reporting systems. We attempted to write systems that were as comprehensive as possible based on the needs and concerns of these agencies. This was a difficult task considering the varying needs of departments across the nation. After several years of work, many aspects of governmental reporting are now covered by an ADSi software module.

There is no off-the-shelf software package that will suit every need that an agency might have, this is simply not possible. Therefore, the ability to modify and tailor a package is absolutely essential. If the source code is available to the customer, then custom modifications can be made to suit those particular needs. This allows customers to make any needed modifications if they have a programming staff. We are also available to make changes to the software on a contract basis. In many cities/counties, a data processing staff is divided between the needs of several departments. Our programming services are very convenient because of the priority that we place on Public Safety needs.

Application Data Systems is in an era of exciting growth of the Corporation. We are in the Public Safety market place because we enjoy the association with fine local government agencies across the country. We are continuing development of software for this environment and plan to do so long into the future.
