Gough -------------------- February 26, 2001 Thomas L. Gough Lanham, Maryland President INTEGRAL SYSTEMS, INC. 5000 Philadelphia Way Lanham, Maryland 20706-4417 Annual Meeting of Stockholders April 25, 2001 _________________________________________ PROXY STATEMENT _________________________________________ Information Concerning Solicitation and Voting General The enclosed proxy is solicited on behalf of Integral Systems, Inc. (the "Company") for the annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 25, 2001, at Patuxent Greens Country Club, located at 14415 Greensview Drive, Laurel, Maryland or any adjournment or adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth herein and in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting. These proxy solicitation materials were mailed on or about March 5, 2001 to all stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting. Record Date; Outstanding Shares Only stockholders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2001 (the "Record Date") are entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. The outstanding voting securities of the Company as of the Record Date consisted of 9,452,718 shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). For information regarding holders of more than 5% of the outstanding Common Stock, see "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management." Revocability of Proxies The enclosed proxy is revocable at any time before its use by delivering to the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. If a stockholder who has executed and returned a proxy is present at the Annual Meeting and wishes to vote in person, he or she may elect to do so and thereby suspend the power of the proxy holders to vote his or her proxy. Voting and Solicitation Every stockholder of record on the Record Date is entitled, for each share held, to one vote on each proposal or item that comes before the meeting. All shares represented at the Annual Meeting by a proxy will be voted in accordance with the choices specified on the proxy. If no direction is given, proxies will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of the Board of Directors set forth in this Proxy Statement. A Board of Directors consisting of six directors is to be elected at the Annual Meeting (Proposal 1). In the election of directors, a plurality of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting at which a quorum is present is sufficient to elect a director. Thus, each stockholder will be entitled to vote for six nominees and the six nominees with the greatest number of votes will be elected. Under Maryland law, there are no appraisal or dissenter's rights with respect to any matter to be voted on at the Annual Meeting that is described herein. 1 The cost of soliciting proxies will be borne by the Company. In addition, the Company may reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of shares for their expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. Proxies may also be solicited by certain of the Company's directors, officers and regular employees, without additional compensation, personally or by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail. Quorum; Abstentions; and Broker Non-Votes The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to be voted generally at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. An abstaining vote and a broker "non-vote" (a broker non-vote occurs if a broker or other nominee does not have discretionary authority and has not received instructions with respect to a particular item) are counted as present and entitled to vote and are, therefore, included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares exists. For purposes of electing directors (Proposal 1), abstentions and broker non-votes will not be treated as a vote cast and will not affect the outcome of such votes. Deadline for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals Proposals of stockholders of the Company which are intended to be presented by such stockholders at the Company's 2002 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by the Company no later than October 29, 2001 in order that they may be included in the proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting. If a stockholder intends to present a stockholder proposal at the 2001 annual meeting in a manner other than by the inclusion of the proposal in the Company's proxy statement and proxy relating to that meeting, unless the stockholder notified the Company of such intention by February 3, 2001, the proxies named by the Company may exercise their discretionary voting authority on the matter in accordance with their best judgment. Any such stockholder proposal should be addressed to the Company's Secretary, Elaine M. Parfitt, and delivered to the Company's principal executive offices at 5000 Philadelphia Way, Lanham, Maryland 20706-4417. Annual Report The Company's Annual Report to Stockholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, is included with these proxy solicitation materials. A copy of the Company's Annual Report, including the financial statements and the financial statement schedules included therein, is also available upon written request to the Company at 5000 Philadelphia Way, Lanham, Maryland 20706-4417, Attn.: Elaine M. Parfitt, Corporate Secretary. 2 ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (Proposal 1) General A Board of Directors consisting of six directors is to be elected at the Annual Meeting.

Murphy (each, a "Nominee," and collectively, the "Nominees"). In the event that any of the Nominees shall become unavailable, the proxy holders will vote in their discretion for a substitute nominee. It is not expected that any Nominee will be unavailable. The Bylaws of the Company provide that the number of members of the Board of Directors shall consist of between three and seven directors and that the exact number may be determined, within the foregoing limits, by the Board of Directors. Each director is elected for a one-year term at each annual meeting of the stockholders. Directors serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until successors have been duly elected and qualified. Officers are elected by the Board of Directors. Each officer holds office until his or her successor is elected or appointed and qualified or until his or her earlier resignation or removal. The terms of each of the elected directors will expire at the next annual meeting of stockholders or when their successors are elected and qualified.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of the Company's Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership of the Company's Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Nasdaq. Based on a review of the copies of such reports, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 its executive officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders filed on a timely basis all reports due under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, with the following exceptions: John R. Murphy, a director of the Company, inadvertently filed late a Form 3; Steve Chamberlain, an executive officer and director of the Company, inadvertently filed late a Form 4 for December 1999, reporting one transaction. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions In August 2000, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of reorganization by and among the Company, SAT Corporation, ISI Acquisition Corporation and Herbert Pardula, the sole shareholder of SAT Corporation. The reorganization agreement provided for the acquisition of SAT by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the reorganization agreement, ISI was merged with and into SAT, with SAT as the surviving entity. At the time of the merger, SAT became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Pursuant to the reorganization agreement, the purchase price paid to the sole shareholder of SAT by the Company in connection with the acquisition of SAT consisted of 650,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a pooling of interests. In December 2000, the Company registered the 650,000 shares of its Common Stock paid 5 in connection with the acquisition of SAT on a Form S-3 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Board of Directors and Committees The Board of Directors met five (5) times in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000. Each of the Company's incumbent directors attended at least 75% of all meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company has an Audit Committee, a Stock Option Committee and a Compensation Committee. The Audit Committee, the Stock Option Committee and the Compensation Committee held their meetings concurrently with the meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company does not have a nominating committee. The Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Stock Option Committee are comprised of Dominic A. Laiti, R. Doss McComas and Bonnie Wachtel, each a non- employee outside director. The Stock Option Committee administers the Company's 1988 Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated effective May 8, 1998 (the "Stock Option Plan"). The Audit Committee makes recommendations concerning the engagement of independent public accountants, reviews with the independent public accountants the plan and results of the audit engagement, reviews the independence of the Company's public accountants, considers the range of audit and non-audit fees and reviews the adequacy of the Company's internal accounting controls. For more information regarding the Audit Committee, see "Executive Compensation - The Audit Committee Report." The Compensation Committee determines the salary and bonus for the Chief Executive Officer, and makes recommendations regarding compensation levels for other officers of the Company. Director Compensation Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive any compensation for their service as directors. The Company pays each director who is not an employee of the Company an aggregate of $10,000 per year for their services, which amount is paid in equal quarterly installments. Outside directors are also annually granted options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company's common stock pursuant to the Stock Option Plan.

Under the pension plan and the profit sharing plan, the Company contributes annually an aggregate amount equal to 5% of an eligible employee's salary to the plans and may make additional contributions of up to 7% of an eligible employee's salary. The employee may contribute up to an additional 10% as salary deferral. In each of fiscal years 2000 and 1999, the Company contributed a total of 11% of eligible employees' salaries to both plans. Compensation Committee Report The Compensation Committee, which is made up of three outside non-employee directors, determines the annual salary and bonuses awarded to Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors Steven R. Chamberlain. The Compensation Committee also makes recommendations regarding compensation levels for other officers of the Company to Steven R. Chamberlain, who determines the annual salaries and bonuses awarded to such officers on a discretionary basis. The Compensation Committee's policy on officer compensation is to offer or recommend (as the case may be) a package that includes a competitive salary, an annual bonus based on achieving certain Company goals and objectives and competitive benefits. The goal of the Compensation Committee in determining the compensation of Steven R. Chamberlain and in making recommendations regarding compensation levels for other officers is to acquire and retain highly skilled executives, reward outstanding individual performance and align the compensation awarded to officers with the success of the Company. The Committee bases its salary determination or recommendations on the individual officer's contributions to the Company and the responsibilities and duties that he or she performs. Bonuses are awarded or recommended by the Compensation Committee on the basis of achievement of certain Company and division revenue and earnings goals. Benefit packages offered to officers of the Company are similar to the benefits offered to all employees and include the Company's health plan and 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan. Annually, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation awarded to Steven R. Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain has provided leadership and direction as the Company has continued to grow and expand. In fiscal year 2000, Mr. Chamberlain guided the Company as it completed a private placement of the Company's Common Stock. The Company received approximately $41 million (net) from this offering. In addition, Mr. Chamberlain led the effort as the Company completed the acquisition of SAT Corporation during the year. The Committee conferred a bonus of $25,000 for Mr. Chamberlain's efforts during the private placement process. Mr. Chamberlain's salary for fiscal year 2000 was $214,303, which in light of his experience, contributions and responsibilities with the Company, the Committee finds reasonable and comparable to executives in similar size companies. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE Dominic A. Laiti R. Doss McComas Bonnie K. Wachtel 11 Audit Committee Report The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Dominic A. Laiti, R. Doss McComas and Bonnie K. Wachtel, all of whom are outside non-employee directors. Each of these members of the Audit Committee is considered independent as defined under the applicable NASDAQ National Market standards governing the qualification of Audit Committee members. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are laid out in a written charter, which was adopted by the Board of Directors and is incorporated as Appendix A of this Proxy Statement. The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 with management and with Rubino & McGeehin, Chartered, the Company's independent auditors. The Audit Committee has discussed with Rubino & McGeehin the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61 (Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards, AU (S) 380) relating to the conduct of the audit. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent auditors required by Independence Standards Board No. 1, (Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committee) and has discussed with Rubino & McGeehin their independence. Based on the review of the audited financial statements and the discussions and review with the independent accountants mentioned above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Submitted by the members of the Audit Committee: Dominic A. Laiti R. Doss McComas Bonnie K. Wachtel Stock Option Plan Effective May 25, 1988, the Company established the Stock Option Plan, as amended and restated in 1994 and 1998, to create additional incentives for the Company's employees, consultants and directors to promote the financial success of the Company. The Stock Option Committee has the authority to select full- time employees, directors or consultants to receive awards of options for the purchase of stock of the Company under this plan. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to the Stock Option Plan is 1,800,000. Options to purchase a total of 235,850 shares of Common Stock were granted and options to purchase 213,756 shares of Common Stock were exercised during fiscal year 2000. The total number of shares of Common Stock subject to options issued and outstanding as of February 20, 2001 was 797,650. Pursuant to the Stock Option Plan, options may be incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or nonstatutory stock options, although incentive stock options may be granted only to employees. Termination of Employment and Change of Control Termination The Company has no compensatory plan or arrangement with respect to any individual named in the Summary Compensation Table which results or will result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of that individual's employment with the Company or its subsidiaries or from a change in control of the Company or a change in the individual's responsibilities following a change in control. 12 INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS Management has not yet selected independent public accountants to audit the books, records and accounts of the Company for the current fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. In accordance with its policy of evaluating its choice of independent accountants periodically, the Company is in the process of selecting an independent public accountant for the current fiscal year. However, at this time, the Company has not made its selection. The independent public accountants for the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2000 were Rubino & McGeehin, Chartered. A representative of Rubino & McGeehin, Chartered is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be available to answer questions from stockholders. Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by Rubino & McGeehin for professional services rendered for the audit of the Company's annual financial statements for fiscal year 2000 and the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company's Forms 10-Q for fiscal year 2000 was $52,431. All Other Fees. The aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered during fiscal year 2000 relating to the acquisition of SAT, review of the Company's tax returns, audit of the Company's pension plans, consultations on accounting standards and other miscellaneous services was $66,302. The Audit Committee has considered whether provision of the services described above under the caption "All Other Fees" is compatible with maintaining the independent accountants' independence and has determined that such services have not adversely affected Rubino & McGeehin's independence. 13 OTHER MATTERS There is no reason to believe that any other business will be presented at the Annual Meeting; however, if any other business should properly and lawfully come before the Annual Meeting, the proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment in such matters pursuant to discretionary authority granted in the proxy.
