Maureen Data Systems History
Pre-1995: The Visionaries
Before founding MDS, Maureen and Stewart Lande built their careers in the burgeoning field of personal computing. At a time when few recognized the potential of computers and the internet, they envisioned how these tools could transform businesses. Despite early challenges, they persevered, helping clients solve their technical needs while the world caught up with their vision.
1995: The Birth of MDS and WBE Certification
Maureen Data Systems (MDS) was officially founded in New York City by Maureen and Stewart Lande. From a small desk in their bedroom, Maureen balanced being a mother of four with her passion for building a company dedicated to solving complex business challenges.
From the start, MDS was certified as a Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE). This certification was a testament to Maureen’s leadership and set the foundation for the company’s culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
Late 1990s: Earning Trust Through Dedication
Early in its journey, MDS cemented its reputation as a partner clients could rely on. One notable moment occurred during the holidays when a client urgently needed parts while distributors were unavailable. The MDS team personally sourced parts from local retailers, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Acts like this built long-term client relationships and showcased the company’s unwavering commitment.
2000s: Pioneers in Innovation
As technology advanced, MDS embraced emerging trends that reshaped the industry. From adopting cloud computing and VoIP to leveraging Microsoft Azure, MDS consistently stayed ahead of the curve. By predicting the impact of revolutionary tools like Microsoft 365 and Teams, the company enabled clients to stay competitive in an increasingly digital world.
2010s: Expanding Horizons
MDS began expanding beyond the United States, particularly into Latin America (LATAM). Leveraging the company’s roots in New York City—a global hub of diversity—the team built strong relationships with clients and partners abroad. Internally, MDS became known for fostering a collaborative, inclusive culture, mirroring the multicultural vibrancy of its home city.
During this time, MDS also strengthened its reputation for reliability, offering 24/7 support and mobilizing its extensive network of over 200 partners to resolve critical client issues, from breaches to server outages.
Today: A Global Leader in Technology
MDS has grown into a thriving organization with over 170+ experts and partnerships with more than 200 leading technology and cybersecurity firms. In 2024 alone, MDS helped a Fortune 500 company transition over 15,000 users to a secure Microsoft Azure platform while integrating advanced AI-powered security measures. The project not only improved operational efficiency but also bolstered the client’s cybersecurity posture.
This dedication to innovation was recognized in 2024 when MDS received a "Partner of the Year" award from Microsoft, cementing its reputation as a leader in digital transformation.
With its talented team and unwavering commitment to excellence, MDS continues to solve complex business challenges while building a brighter technological future for its clients.

Sustainable, Municipal Ops on an Intelligent Data Platform
As the sole water and sewerage provider in Trinidad and Tobago, the Water and Sewerage Authority of Trinidad and Tobago (WASA) has a significant reach and scale. It’s unsurprising that the Authority’s agencies oversees the country’s largest combined water and wastewater utilities. It serves over 92% of the population with pipe borne water through private house connections and standpipes. WASA’s strategic plan is to achieve its vision of being a world-class water and wastewater utility, while building a sustainable future for all Trinidadians. With that high-level direction, MDS saw the potential for migrating legacy utility asset management processes and solutions from Oracle and IBM to the Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform (MIDP). Working with the Authority's IT Services team, MDS has implemented Microsoft 365 and Power Platform solutions using sustainable concepts for a modern, asset management system on Microsoft Azure.
Lifecycle Management for Enterprise Business Intelligence
MDS lead the enterprise effort to both consolidate its reporting and visualization solutions from a legacy on-premises SSRS environment to a cloud-based analytics platform accessible across the organization. It also required uniformity within its departments on how these reporting solutions get implemented and adopted. MDS lead the successful implementation of Power BI Premium and migrated a substantial percentage of legacy reporting solutions to the Power BI cloud service using deployment pipelines. By transforming both its business intelligence approach as well as implementing an application lifecycle management (ALM) process for its reports, MDS modernized PSEG’s legacy system to an extensible, more accessible and highly available analytics and reporting environment.
