Compass Systems & Programming | 344 followers on LinkedIn. IT and Engineering placement services. In business since 1989! | Compass Systems and Programming was co-founded in 1989 by two IT developers with combined experience in programming, business and systems analysis, design, project leadership and management. Working together, we recognized the need for expert contractors, consultants and staff was not being well served. Because of so many requests for talent we started our company to provide other equally experienced technical individuals to organizations in need of talent.
