Leaders in business, government, and education universally recognize the need to create institutions to serve as a focal point for all their IS needs. The Information Systems Research Institute (ISRI) at Virginia Commonwealth University is one such institution.

Established in 1991 as an outreach vehicle for the Department of Information Systems at VCU, the mission of the Information Systems Research Institute is to facilitate professional education for current IT workers, technical assistance for specific business needs, and quality applied research and practical real world experience for our faculty and students. Through ISRI, our department faculty and students work in collaboration with industry to solve real problems through specific projects and custom training programs.

ISRI provides complete Information Technology services: from applied research, consulting, and advisory services to workforce training and development. ISRI can also provide students to supplement your existing IT staff on a temporary or an ongoing basis. Through these programs, ISRI offers both short and long-term unique solutions to your business' workforce and computing needs.
