I interpret "IIS - IIS is a company" as a request for a concise profile of a company called IIS. There are multiple companies and entities that use the IIS name (for example International Integrated Solutions, Informa Investment Solutions, Intelligent Information Systems, and others). Below I produce a compact, investment-style company profile using the most consistent public information available for two likely matches: (A) International Integrated Solutions (IIS / iistech.com), an IT infrastructure/services firm; and (B) Informa Investment Solutions (often branded IIS), a provider of financial data and wealth-management software. I mark which facts come from which source so you can tell which IIS each sentence refers to.
High‑Level Overview
- International Integrated Solutions (IIS) — concise summary: IIS is a U.S.-based IT infrastructure and services provider focused on designing and deploying business‑critical IT solutions and partner ecosystems with vendors such as HPE, Red Hat and VMware[1]. [1]
- Informa Investment Solutions (IIS) — concise summary: IIS (Informa Investment Solutions) is a long‑standing provider of investment data, performance measurement and wealth‑management software used by brokerages, asset managers, pensions and consultants; it positions itself as an impartial, enterprise data and reporting vendor for institutional and retail investment professionals[2][3]. [2][3]
For an investment firm (not directly applicable): neither of these IIS entries is an investment firm; Informa Investment Solutions serves investment firms with software and data rather than being an investor itself[2][3]. [2][3]
For a portfolio company (if IIS is the operating company): see product/service summaries below.
Origin Story
- International Integrated Solutions (IIS): Founded in 1990 and headquartered in New York/Long Island, the company has grown into a systems integrator with recognized channel rankings and partnerships, and has been listed on CRN provider/Tech Elite lists in recent years[1]. [1]
- Informa Investment Solutions (IIS): IIS traces back several decades in the investment‑software space, consolidating legacy businesses (Effron Enterprises, Plan Sponsor Network, netDecide) under Informa in 2004 and expanding via acquisitions (Mobius in 2006, Investment Scorecard in 2007), giving it over 30 years of product and data heritage[2]. [2]
Core Differentiators
- International Integrated Solutions (IIS)
- Vendor partnerships: deep reseller/implementation relationships with HPE, Red Hat and VMware that enable delivery of complex infrastructure solutions[1]. [1]
- Channel credentials: recognized on CRN lists (Solution Provider 500, Tech Elite) indicating reseller and services standing[1]. [1]
- Mid‑market systems integrator focus: positions itself on business‑critical deployments and managed services for enterprise customers[1]. [1]
- Informa Investment Solutions (IIS)
- Data breadth and neutrality: maintains a large investment manager/product database and positions itself as an objective third‑party data supplier with source‑reported data[3]. [3]
- Product suite for wealth and performance: offers PSN (investment databases), WealthIQ, InsuranceIQ, Investment Scorecard and portfolio/performance tools used by brokerages, consultants and plan sponsors[2][3]. [2][3]
- Longevity and integration: decades of system design and acquisitions that stitched together research, performance and reporting capabilities for institutional workflows[2]. [2]
Role in the Broader Tech / Financial Landscape
- International Integrated Solutions (IIS): rides the continued enterprise demand for hybrid cloud, virtualization and integrated infrastructure services; its vendor alliances position it to capture projects where customers need multi‑vendor architecture and managed services support[1]. [1]
- Informa Investment Solutions (IIS): benefits from increasing regulatory, reporting and data‑management demands across wealth managers and institutional investors—trends that favor vendors offering consolidated manager databases, performance measurement and advisor proposal tooling[2][3]. [2][3]
Quick Take & Future Outlook
- International Integrated Solutions (IIS): likely path — continue expanding managed services and vendor‑aligned solutions, leveraging channel recognition to win larger enterprise engagements; competitive risks include consolidation among systems integrators and margin pressure on services[1]. [1]
- Informa Investment Solutions (IIS): likely path — product consolidation, deeper analytics and integrations with custodians/portfolio accounting systems; demand drivers include advisor digitization, compliance/reporting complexity and appetite for third‑party manager data; risks include competition from specialist data vendors and platform consolidation within large asset managers[2][3]. [2][3]
Notes, caveats and next steps
- Multiple unrelated entities use the IIS name; the two profiles above reflect the two most prominent publicly documented IIS usages I found: an IT integrator (International Integrated Solutions) and Informa Investment Solutions, a financial‑software/data provider[1][2][3]. [1][2][3]
- If you meant a different IIS (for example a local company, an investment firm named IIS Investment Ltd., or Intelligent Information Systems), tell me which jurisdiction or share a website/linkedIn/company number and I will build a targeted profile with the same structure and citations.
