Governor Sonny Perdue announced today that DocuSys, Inc., the leading anesthesia information management system (AIMS), medication management system and presurgical care management system provider, plans to relocate its headquarters to Atlanta. This move will create 300 jobs over the next three years.

Governor Perdue made today’s announcement from the 2008 BIO International Convention in San Diego, the world’s leading conference and exhibition for the biosciences community.
DocuSys, based in Mobile, Ala., has relocated its headquarters to midtown Atlanta.
