Intelligent Software Solutions (ISS) has been awarded three task orders totaling nearly $120 million by the U.S. Air Force Research Labs to support a number of U.S. government customers with data integration, analysis and reporting software, says the company.

Carl Houghton (Vice president, Strategic Initiatives, ISS): The appetite for enterprise-wide analytical tools continues to grow. More and more organizations have unwieldy amounts of data, and are in desperate need of software and services to process and analyze that data.

The contract encompasses over 100 projects for 70 different user communities.
