Founded in 1985 as a research and software application development company, Three Rivers Systems, Inc. decided to build systems for higher education institutions to easily manage the entire student lifecycle and expedite operational processes.

Three Rivers Systems chose a 100-percent Microsoft® development and operating environment to produce its Comprehensive Academic Management System (CAMS) Enterprise – the only all Web-based academic-management solution on the market.
