Computer Aid, Inc. is an IT services firm.

History

Computer Aid, Inc. was founded in 1981 as an IT consulting business.[1][2]

In 2004, Computer Aid began working with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture (PDA) to "design, develop, and implement the Pennsylvania Animal Health Emergency Reporting Diagnostic System (PAHERDS)."[3] In 2005, Computer Aid again worked with the PDA to develop what would become USALIMS, and in 2006 they developed USAPlants, a computer application for agriculture management, for the PDA.[3][1] The PDA would later go on to create the Animal Health Information Management Consortium (AHIMC) to share that software with other state agencies.[1] Ultimately, the State donated all these software applications to the National Agribusiness Technology Center, which made the software available under the integrated AgraGuard platform for free to state and local governments.[4][5]

Up until about 2019, Computer Aid was also the software implementer and developer for some of the software offerings of non-profit corporation National Agribusiness Technology Center (NATC).[4][6][1] However, all mention of NATC was removed from the Computer Aid website in 2019, and it's not clear if the company still has dealings with the NATC. Additionally, any mention of its laboratory information management system (LIMS) software HealthLIMS was removed with the website change, and again it's not clear what the software's fate is.

Former technology and products
