ECS Federal, LLC (also known as ECS), a subsidiary of ASGN, Inc., is an American systems integrator based in Fairfax, Virginia, specializing in information technology (IT), consulting, and technology solutions including cybersecurity, artificial intelligence (AI), data analytics, IT operations, and enterprise transformation. ECS was the largest provider of AI solutions to the United States Department of Defense (DoD) for fiscal years 2019-2021.[1] The company reported revenues exceeding $1.15 billion in 2022.[2]
John Heneghan has served as President of ECS since January 2022.[3]
History
ECS (originally Energy Conservation Specialists) was founded as an energy services subcontractor based in Tampa, Florida, in 1993. ECS was acquired in 2001 by Roy Kapani, a government contracting executive, and reoriented towards software engineering. ECS changed its name to Electronic Consulting Services, Inc., and established a new headquarters to target the National Capital Region, first in Reston, Virginia and then at the company’s current home at 2750 Prosperity Avenue in Fairfax. That same year, the company won a slot on the General Services Administration (GSA) Schedule, opening a path to federal contracting.
2001-2009
ECS won its first major federal contract in 2001: a five-year, $25 million software development contract to build, maintain, and enhance the software systems delivering Federal Housing Administration (FHA) mortgage insurance. The systems built and operated by ECS delivered the largest mortgage insurance program in the world, responsible for insuring millions of properties worth a cumulative $1.3 trillion. The systems interfaced with major banks and Wall Street institutions and generated a surplus of revenue, requiring zero taxpayer funding.
ECS continued to build its capabilities and qualifications while winning additional financial services contracts ranging from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). During this timeframe the company also began making significant investments to build out and broaden its staff, its solution area expertise, and its infrastructure.
2010
ECS secured a transformational contract win in 2010 with the award of a five-year, $250 million contract from the United States Army Program Executive Office (PEO) supporting the Simulation, Training, and Instrumentation (STRI) mission.[4] The award grew the company nearly 50 percent, provided a foothold in the defense contracting space (which would become a cornerstone of the company's future business), and led to the opening of additional office space in Orlando, Florida.
2011-2017
In its second decade, ECS began leaning more heavily into its growing IT and cybersecurity expertise. Notable contract wins from this period included the United States Postal Service National Customer Support Center (USPS NCSC)[5] and the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS)[6] modernization initiative for the United States Department of Justice (DoJ). From 2011 to 2017, the company’s annual revenue from defense contracts nearly tripled.
In January 2012, Kapani named George Wilson President of the company while remaining CEO.[7] In February 2014, Wilson was named CEO, with Kapani serving as Chairman of the Board of Directors.[8]
During this period, ECS also kicked off a series of strategic acquisitions to expand the company's size and solution expertise into new markets, such as marine and engineering services. The acquisition of InfoReliance,[9] a provider of cybersecurity, cloud computing, and software engineering solutions, created an opening for critical partnerships with Amazon Web Services (AWS)[10] and Microsoft.[11] By 2017, the company had grown to a size of more than 2,400 employees.
Since September 2017, ECS has served as primary support contractor for Project Maven (formally known as the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team or AWCFT), the DoD’s most visible AI tool, designed to process imagery and full-motion video from drones and automatically detect potential targets.[12]
Acquisition by ASGN, Inc.
In April 2018, ECS was acquired by ASGN, Inc., a provider of IT and professional services in the technology, digital creative, engineering, life sciences, and government sectors, for $775 million.[13] 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 greater scale of capabilities and personnel, making it possible to compete for the largest federal contract opportunities.
2019-Present Day
Amidst the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, ECS was able to continue its operations thanks in large part to its distributed workforce model.
Entering into its third decade, ECS continued to build out its cybersecurity, IT operations, and AI offerings with solutions for zero trust architecture and intelligence gathering and processing tools. The company also began running the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Dashboard Ecosystem,[14] delivering cyber situational awareness data to federal agencies and summarizing risk exposure across the government for the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In 2021, the company reported $1 billion in annual revenues for the first time.
In January 2022, John Heneghan was named President of ECS following Wilson's retirement at the end of 2021.
Notable recent contract wins and work by ECS include:
- Migrating the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) software, business workflows, and forms to Microsoft SharePoint Online.[15]
- Leveraging Agile software development to deliver a legacy data consolidation solution for the Defense Health Agency (DHA), digitally transforming and modernizing healthcare records systems.[16]
- Sustaining and enhancing the USTRANSCOM Global Air Transportation Execution System (GATES), which manages all air and sea cargo and passenger movements for DoD missions.[17]
- Supporting the Army Endpoint Security Solution (AESS), which protects nearly 800,000 endpoints across the U.S. Army's unclassified and classified networks.[18]
- Continuing support for the USPS NCSC, including providing enterprise application and IT support for the program’s application development, geospatial analytics, database management, help desk, and project management office.[19]
In October 2022, ASGN, Inc. acquired cybersecurity company Iron Vine Security, whose team of more than 230 professionals became part of ECS.[20] With the acquisition, ECS further strengthened its cybersecurity solution set, including zero-trust solutions, security operations center (SOC) management, and digital forensics.
