Business Information Solutions, Inc. has announced the launch of AccelerateIT, a new strategic approach to delivering modern IT and cybersecurity services designed to help organizations operate more efficiently, securely, and confidently. AccelerateIT powered by BIS brings together essential technology pillars including artificial intelligence, compliance, Microsoft 365, cybersecurity, and operational IT into one unified solution. Rather than treating each area as a separate initiative, AccelerateIT aligns technology decisions with real business priorities, helping organizations reduce complexity and move away from reactive, tool-based IT management.
As businesses across the Gulf Coast continue to adopt new technologies, many find themselves managing disconnected systems, rising compliance requirements, and growing cybersecurity risks without a clear strategy tying everything together. AccelerateIT was developed in response to these challenges, providing a more structured and forward-looking way to approach technology. Phillip Long, CEO at BIS, stated that most organizations don't need more technology but rather technology that works together and supports real business outcomes, with AccelerateIT reflecting how IT should be delivered today with strategy, security, and accountability at the center.
A key focus of AccelerateIT is helping organizations adopt emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, in a responsible and secure way. As AI tools become more accessible, many businesses are experimenting without clear policies, governance, or oversight. AccelerateIT helps leadership teams evaluate where AI adds real value while ensuring security, compliance, and data protection remain priorities. In addition to AI, AccelerateIT emphasizes stronger use of Microsoft 365 as a core business platform, helping businesses align Microsoft 365 with their operational and compliance needs rather than treating it as a basic email and file-sharing solution.
AccelerateIT also addresses growing regulatory and cybersecurity pressures facing businesses of all sizes. By integrating compliance considerations and security best practices into a single technology approach, organizations gain clearer visibility into risk and a stronger foundation for decision-making. The rollout of AccelerateIT will begin across BIS's service area, including Pensacola, Mobile, Montgomery, and Biloxi, starting in January 2026. The approach is designed to scale with organizations as they grow, adapt to new technologies, and navigate an increasingly complex digital landscape.
