History
In 1989 a group of corporate, educational and government entities, seeking insight into how to strengthen the Nebraska business environment, commissioned several studies, all of which documented the need to bring focus to the region’s information infrastructure.

That initial research prompted the creation of Applied Information Management (AIM) Institute in 1992 with 25 corporate, educational and governmental members and one employee, Dr. Robert Sweeney. The new organization was housed at USWEST (later Qwest Communications) and funded entirely through the support of its business members.
