The Accelerated Information Systems Team

Zaheer K. Master
President
Zaheer attended Binghamton University graduating with a BSc in Computer Science and a BA in History. In Fall of 2004, Zaheer’s father, a Certified Public Accountant, asked him for help in selecting a document management system to make his office more efficient and reclaim office space from stacks of paper. After an exhaustive review of nearly every document management software available, Zaheer selected Laserfiche. He was so impressed by the software and the company that six months later he founded AIS to bring the benefits of document management to other organizations. Since 2005 AIS has experienced tremendous growth and is today one of the leading Value-Added Resellers of Laserfiche software. An avid martial artist, Zaheer achieved his Black Belt in Kenpo Karate in February 2010. His other interests include baseball, motorcycles, and photography.
