Founded in 1983 by Russell Schulte, ABIS is a group of professionals with a goal of transforming and
revolutionizing the way companies work through the use of software solutions with business efficiency in
mind. With the help of our client-partners and our growing community, ABIS continues to grow and
become more impactful, as does our Adjutant and MetalEZ software.
Who are we?

4. What does the word company mean?
The word company has friendly
beginnings: Com (together) and panis
which is Latin for bread. It literally
translates as someone you break bread
with.
Who could be against having fun and
breaking bread? We are not! At ABIS,
every first Friday of the month we
celebrate one another, our good deeds
and company accomplishments.
We call it our First Friday Familiarity
meeting.

19. A Note from Katie Thurman
"ABIS
is
unlike
any
other
company.
From
the
outside
looking
in
it
seems
fun
and
unique,
but
from
the
inside
it
is
so
much
more.
Our
team
has
an
incredible
dynamic
where
we
all
work
hard
and
play
hard.
Everyone
supports
one
another,
yet
I
am
challenged
as
an
individual;
which
makes
each
day
new
and
exciBng.”
