Today, the problem is not the lack of available information, it is the overwhelming task of locating the needed information, the difficulty of knowing how to ask and the knowledge it takes to compile the information into a usable format. There are many sources from which to gather information.

20,000 municipalities in the United States have at least ten computers each storing information.

3,200 counties, averaging 17 computers each, add 90,780 data sources.

All of the fifty states have numerous computers and databanks available. The Federal government has countless sources of information, to say nothing of the immense number of proprietary databases.

Some 30 million sources on the Internet provide information, and that number is expected to grow to 100 million over the next few years.

Imagine the nightmare we face just to figure out where to find the information we need: which information is deemed most reliable: how to "ask" the questions and how to put the answers into a format we can understand.

As we move into the 21st Century, the way we access information will change dramatically. Individuals will demand faster ways of getting information and expedience is the key component to this being achieved - Universal Information Services, Inc. will lead the way.
