“Over the last several years,
we have worked to establish the premiere managed services business in public
sector. We leverage our multi-tenant, FedRAMP authorized technology platform
coupled with deep knowledge of x-as-a-service pricing models, all delivered
from our Enterprise Operations IT Center in Blacksburg, Virginia to
increase IT performance at a lower cost point. With CAGR of close to 30% over
the last six years, we needed to expand our leadership team and systematically
infuse additional technologies into our platform, while adding new capabilities
and processes to maintain – or exceed – our past growth rates. George’s
skill set in leading technology and innovation-oriented businesses coupled with
his keen understanding of market trends are an ideal match for the company. We

career,” said Batsakis. “The company’s leadership has been ahead of
the curve since its inception through their commitment to cloud-delivered
managed services, core technology partnerships, cybersecurity, and the
requisite workforce development needed to deliver for public sector customers.
That same commitment to innovation and differentiated services provide the
ideal platform for continued growth, market leadership, and building the
workforce of the future for cloud-delivered capabilities.”
