"We had been using several programs to do what AIRS does in one package. The people ... have been available whenever we need them to answer questions so we were able to get up to speed very quickly. It is a great system that we could not do without"

January 28, 2004 - AIRS version 2 spurs IRRIS Technologies growth
Adoption agencies, historically an underserved market, have at long last found a software system designed to meet their data utilization needs. The software, AIRS-the adoption information and reporting software, is a product of IRRIS Technologies of Fairfield, Maine.

AIRS was originally developed at the request of Maine Adoptive Placement Services (MAPS). Like other adoption agencies, MAPS required a software system to meet its complex and dynamic data utilization needs. AIRS provided the solution. “AIRS is an extremely easy system for users to understand. Productivity is up, our training costs have been kept to a minimum and most importantly - it is very flexible and user friendly,” said MAPS’ Karen Prescott. From this beginning, IRRIS Technologies, in close cooperation with the adoption industry, developed AIRS, version 2.

The warm reception given AIRS, version 2 by adoption agencies has spurred significant growth for IRRIS Technologies. AIRS has earned the trust of adoption agencies because of its flexibility and the simplicity of its design that helps them customize AIRS with little or no outside assistance. AIRS is the most comprehensive adoption agency information management solution available today, utilizing a web-based platform to make data management and utilization efforts more manageable and more effective.
