FALLS CHURCH, Va.--(Business Wire)--
Planned Systems International, Inc. (PSI), a respected provider of information
technology (IT) solutions and services to the federal government, announces it
has been awarded a task order by the Defense Health Information Management
System (DHIMS) Program Office to provide operations and maintenance support to
