Bottom line
JAMIS Prime ERP is a cloud ERP built specifically for U.S. federal government contractors and project-driven nonprofits. It covers project and cost accounting, contract management and government-compliant billing, time and expense, HCM/payroll, procurement, and fixed assets. JAMIS markets DCAA, FAR Part 31, CAS and ASC 606 support, FedRAMP Moderate certified hosting, native MFA, and CPSR-ready procurement. Pricing is quote-based and unpublished, and implementation is vendor-led rather than self-serve.
Frequently asked questions
What kind of company is JAMIS Prime ERP designed for?
JAMIS positions Prime ERP for federal government contractors and project-driven organizations, including IT services, cybersecurity, engineering, aerospace and defense firms, and nonprofits. The vendor states it is the only U.S.-based private ERP provider exclusively focused on government contractors.
Does JAMIS Prime make a company DCAA compliant?
JAMIS states the system was developed to facilitate DCAA-compliant accounting from the start and that customers routinely pass DCAA audits. It is pre-configured for FAR Part 31 cost principles and Cost Accounting Standards, with segregation of direct, indirect and unallowable costs and audit-ready labor distribution including uncompensated overtime. Buyers should still confirm how their specific contract mix maps to system configuration.
What security certifications does JAMIS hold?
JAMIS states that JAMIS Prime ERP achieved FedRAMP Moderate certification following a third-party assessment, and the federal cloud is designed to support CUI protection and CMMC requirements for customers. The security page also references SSAE-18 SOC 1 Type II reporting and Veracode Verified secure code, plus native multi-factor authentication in Prime 7.0. No SOC 2 or ISO 27001 claim appears on the pages reviewed.
How much does JAMIS Prime cost and how long does implementation take?
JAMIS does not publish list pricing or implementation timelines on the pages reviewed; pricing is quote-based and negotiated through the vendor. Because it is a full ERP with compliance configuration, expect a vendor-led implementation rather than self-serve onboarding. Buyers should request an itemized scope, timeline and any mandatory implementation or professional services fees in writing.
Does JAMIS Prime include AI features or an MCP server?
None of the vendor pages reviewed describe AI or machine-learning features, named model providers, AI pricing, AI data-training practices, or a Model Context Protocol server. Those fields are therefore recorded as unknown or empty rather than inferred.
