We handle everything from planning and design to installation and service. We even purchase all the hardware and equipment. Moreover, we’ll make sure staff is properly trained on using the system to master its operation.

Company History

Delivering excellency since 1982

1982

The first compact disk player was launched. Coincidentally, so was BIS Digital

Granted, back then our cutting-edge recording technology consisted of dictation and transcriptions services. We had all of one employee, and a single county made up our entire corporate footprint.

1982
1985

Digital recording solutions to numerous hospitals

However, by 1985 we were in three counties providing digital recording solutions to numerous hospitals. Five years later, we were serving over 100 hospitals in six states. Then, at the dawn of the new millennia, BIS introduced digital recording solutions to the courts and government. This changed everything.
1985
2005

DCR was born

In 2005, we launched our flagship product, DCR, under the BIS brand and haven’t looked back since. Today, we provide turnkey recording and communications management solutions to more than 6,000 customers. This includes thousands of courtrooms, stretching up and down the East coast and beyond.

Always looking forward

Our unique ability to integrate advanced computer technology and digital recording software with the latest equipment – microphones, monitors, mixers, public address systems, and more – allows BIS to deliver customized solutions that provide unmatched communications control.
