“From its founding in April 1993 as an energy services subcontractor to becoming an industry leader in advanced technology, science, and digital transformation solutions, ECS has lived by one watchword: innovation.”

WE'RE HIRING

Rather than slowing the pace as the company’s achievements piled up, ECS has stepped on the gas in the last couple of years. ECS has taken on the task of migrating the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) software, business workflows, and forms to Microsoft SharePoint Online. The company has leveraged Agile software development to deliver a Legacy Data Consolidation Solution (LDCS) for the Defense Health Agency (DHA), digitally transforming and modernizing healthcare records systems. And, the company provides key support in several high-priority U.S. foreign policy areas, from solving mission partner collaboration in Ukraine to sustaining and enhancing the USTRANSCOM Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES), which manages all air and sea cargo and passenger movements for DoD missions.

In 2022, ECS became the largest provider of artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions to the DoD, representing the company’s dominance on the cutting edge of innovation as well as a fitting exclamation point on 30 years of progress. At the same time, the company’s core identity as a cybersecurity and IT solution leader was reinforced with the recompete win of the continuously innovative AESS contract and the acquisition of Iron Vine Security, a leading cybersecurity company.

Amidst the turbulence of the pandemic years, the company’s commitment to innovation continued to pay dividends, such as its distributed workforce that allowed its contract work to continue uninterrupted despite the disruption.

Among ECS’ solution and service offerings, the company continued to build its portfolio with next-gen cloud for zero trust architecture, intelligence gathering and processing tools like Argos PAI, and smarter and more effective cybersecurity capabilities such as Pathfinder and ARC Threat Intelligence. The company also began running the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Dashboard Ecosystem, delivering cyber situational awareness data to federal agencies and summarizing risk exposure across the government for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

In 2021, ECS celebrated a major milestone as the company joined the “Billion-Dollar Club” by exceeding $1B in annual revenue for the first time.

ECS hit another major turning point in 2018 when the company was acquired by ASGN, Inc., one of the foremost providers of IT and professional services in the technology, digital, engineering, life sciences, and government sectors.

With the acquisition, ECS transitioned from one of the largest privately held government services contractors to a strategic segment of a rising, publicly traded company. As a result, the company gained access to a whole new scale of capabilities, personnel, and competitive edge to compete for and win the very largest opportunities in the federal market.
