History

As the commercial arm of the APSF, PSI is responsible for the marketing, technical development and support of the AIMS incident management system . The APSF forms the research basis of PSI and is responsible for on-going development of the classification schema.

PSI formally took over management and development of AIMS on 5 May 2003 with the transfer of select staff functions including, client services, operations and IT development, from the APSF to PSI. In 2003, APSF sold a portion of PSI shares to private investors. The APSF remains the majority PSI shareholder.
