**Main Applications**

Welcome to the AIS website resource page

The AIS website (which you are currently browsing) has been developed as the unique entry point for all AIS applications, projects and service. It's addressing more than 3000 AIS users and some 60 AIS members (developers, support staff, systems staff...).

The project started in November 1998 and the site was put in production in September 1999. Since then it has grown from less than 1000 pages to more than 13000.

The AIS website is developed and maintained with Macromedia Dreamweaver, a web authoring tool supported by IT/IA.
