What is the main business focus of your Fairfax County office?
Through software development and integration, hardware manufacturing and professional services, the focus of CSCI’s Fairfax County office is to deliver innovative business and product solutions to the federal government and commercial industry. We provide technical counsel to our clients in several areas including, operations analysis, modeling and simulation, architecture development, systems engineering, and Information Technology (IT) development and design.

CSCI’s primary customers include The Office of the Secretary of Defense; Secretary of the Navy; Joint Chiefs of Staff; the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Army and various research labs and government agencies. We also expect to experience stable growth in commercial markets with our emerging hardware and integrated information solutions.

What sets you apart from your competitors?
We try to impart a unique perspective to our business from the look and feel of our corporate offices (including mural-painted walls, the themed office spaces and a spacious layout designed to simultaneously host multiple meetings of various sizes). The décor is simply one element which is reflective of our corporate culture which values diversity and the unique perspectives of each employee. We believe these factors contribute to CSCI’s ability to attract and retain highly-skilled professionals with the skills sets we require to deliver effective results to our clients. CSCI has consistently provided innovative and trusted solutions and services to address challenges within federal government agencies and has been the sole-source contractor on several government contracts. Our subject matter experts have a thorough understanding of clients’ challenges and operating environments, working cohesively to provide trusted, secure solutions. Over the years, we have built a solid reputation as an honest broker and trusted partner to our clients by providing honest assessments and technical advice to ensure success and protect our clients’ equity.

How many employees do you have and how many do you anticipate hiring in the next 12 months?
CSCI currently employs a staff of 140. We anticipate a 10% increase; and, that hiring will be consistent with the growth of our new business ventures for 2009 and beyond. Our goal is to ensure that we are staffed with qualified, well-suited candidates needed to sustain our growth and success.

What are the advantages of your Fairfax County location?
CSCI’s corporate offices are conveniently located adjacent to the Springfield Interchange providing easy access to the Pentagon and many federal government agencies. Being located in Fairfax County provides access to a diverse and highly-skilled workforce and a large population of transitioning prior military service members with specialized experience.

Where do you see your business in five to 10 years?
Our strategic goals for the next five to 10 years will focus on aggressive growth and expansion into commercial and federal markets with our recently established CSCI Technologies GuardTM Series hardware product line and with our emerging Cardinal SuiteTM line of integrated solutions. We will also continue providing the same trusted counsel and services that our existing government clients know and respect.
