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?

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.

What people need

Intellectual

Environmental

Spiritual

Social Physical

Overall wellness is composed of 5 individual dimensions of health. The goal is to find balance between all dimensions. We believe in these dimensions and use them to provide employees with the best experience we can.

Intellectual Wellness 1

#CultureCode

#CultureCode

Engaging in creative and stimulating activities and accepting one's self while seeking improvement. An intellectually well person uses available resources to improve skills and expand potential for sharing with others. We believe in the ability to learn, grow, and take advantage of the resources around us.

Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. -Albert Einstein

Spiritual Wellness 2

Seek meaning and purpose in life, pursue a fulfilling

life, and contribute to the spiritual health of others.

A spiritually well person will attain a greater

appreciation and wonderment for the world

around them.

Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous The Bible Peter 3:8

Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the ignorant. Quran 42:43

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Psalms (Tehilim) 133:1 The Bible & The Torah

Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth, faithfulness the best relationship.

The highest levels of performance come to people who are centered, intuitive, creative, and reflective - people who know to see a problem as an opportunity.

Social Wellness 3

The ability to have satisfying interpersonal relationships and interactions. Social Wellness includes working in groups, and the ability to give and receive support. At ABIS, we embody this by building close friendships, practicing empathy and effective listening, and caring for each other.

health goals.
