Our History
Started in a small office on Mission Street, San Francisco, California in 1986, Informatix, Inc. has flourished into a full service information technology company, providing services in payment processing, data matching, and IT consulting services to public and private sectors.
1986
Informatix started as a small information technology/human services organization designed to provide technology training and services to a disadvantaged segment of the population. Informatix’ first office was on Mission Street in San Francisco, California.
1988
Began our involvement with the State of California’s Child Support Enforcement (CSE) system – Computer Assisted Support Enforcement System (CASES) for the San Francisco County Family Support Bureau. We later expanded our support of CASES to five other CA counties.
1994
Our Sacramento, CA office opens and becomes our headquarters.
1997
In the spring of 1997, all CASES counties were converted to California statewide CSE system SACSS per state mandate. In the summer of 1997, the state of California declared SACSS a failure, and contracted with Informatix to convert all SACSS counties back to CASES as the California safe haven system. As a result, Informatix converted and maintained CASES as the child support enforcement system in 20 more California counties.
1998
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996 was signed into law and provided for a strengthened Child Support Enforcement Program. PRWORA, also known as Welfare Reform, greatly impacted the child support account distribution algorithms, as well as introduced several major mandates such as New Hire Registry and Paternity Establishment procedures. Informatix faced the challenge head on, successfully implemented the PRWORA changes into the CASES system on time while also managing the conversion of many counties from SACSS to CASES.
1999
Informatix received the 1999 California Service Firm of the Year Award from the U.S. Small Business Administration and the 1999 National Service Firm of the Year Award from the U.S. Department of Commerce.
1998 – 2003
From a single child support enforcement system in one county, Informatix implemented and supported child support enforcement case management solutions in 55 of 58 counties in California and managed some of the largest caseloads in the country.
