What has come to be known as "TAMIS" is really a suite of databases that have been developed to meet different project management needs. The following represents the types of systems that are currently available. A template has been developed for each of these variations, pulling into one place the best practices and features being used on DAI projects around the world.

Long Term Project Management—DAI’s most basic TAMIS supports the myriad tasks involved in work plan management, impact and performance monitoring and project administration required of every long term project.

Grants Management—Many DAI projects now include the management of grant funds to support project objectives. The grant management system helps DAI staff manage the proposal and award process, track grant disbursements and monitor the performance of the overall grant portfolio. This system can be a stand alone database or a module of a long term TAMIS.

Client Management—Some projects focus on developing relationships or partnerships with, or between, specific clients. In this type of project, the client relationships and the specific results of each relationship become more important than the traditional project workplan for tracking the progress of the project. The client management TAMIS helps project managers to track exactly where they stand in the services offered to these clients and in the results of their work in brokering relationships. This system can be a stand alone database or a module of a long-term TAMIS.

Indefinite Quantity Contract Management—This system tracks the status of opportunities available under an indefinite quantity contract and facilitates the exchange of information from our office to our subcontractors through use of TAMIS on the World Wide Web.

Voucher Administration—New to the TAMIS suite, this system has been installed in voucher distribution centers of several new projects. The system tracks information on vouchers distributed and redeemed by project beneficiaries. It is used to analyze where vouchers are being most heavily used and what services are in greatest demand.
