Headquartered in Germantown, MD, and with offices in Washington, DC, and multiple locations across the nation, 1 Source Consulting, Inc. (1 Source) delivers full life-cycle information technology (IT) services and support to public sector clients. William R. Teel, Jr. founded 1 Source in April 1999 with the vision of building a strategic IT services and management consulting firm focused on helping clients “create synergy between business demands and technology solutions.” We help our clients optimize business operations, perform more efficiently and effectively with available resources, and achieve business and mission objectives through the appropriate application of information systems and technology.
1 Source Consulting is one of the most dynamic and fastest growing information technology service providers in the country. On December 5, 2005, the U.S. Department of Energy awarded EES, a small business joint venture between majority owner 1 Source Consulting and RHRT Holdings, a 7-year, $1 billion dollar A-76 IT support contract. The DOE IT Support Services contract was one of the largest federal IT service contracts ever awarded to a small business. 1 Source Consulting, through the joint venture, has successfully scaled its operations and infrastructure to respond efficiently and effectively to meet all requirements of this high-profile IT support services effort. In addition to DOE, our federal government clients span the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Transportation.
Our highly skilled, certified, and innovative management, technical, and support staff apply industry standards and best practices to achieve and maintain a consistently high-quality and secure computing environment for the federal user communities who depend on us every day. We employ ITIL v3 as the primary framework for IT Service Management, CMMI as our principal systems engineering methodology (CMMI Maturity Level 3 appraisal scheduled for November 2009), and ISO 9001:2000 for our quality management system. Our program and project managers are PMP certified, and apply sound management techniques based on the principles set forth in the PMBOK 4th Edition and on expertise gained through years of hands-on experience. Our operations staff professionals are ITIL V3 Foundation trained and certified and many have other relevant industry certifications such as CISSP, SANS, MCP, A+, MCSE, and CCNA/CCIE.
Working collaboratively with our federal customers, 1 Source supports the implementation of integrated enterprise-wide operations and capabilities. We have planned and transitioned multiple disparate help desks into a single point of contact enterprise service desk; consolidated and migrated virtualized servers, applications, and storage; and developed and implemented enterprise network management capabilities that permit remote monitoring, management, configuration, patching, and updates from a central location. Our expertly trained and certified cyber security staff consistently assess risk and vulnerabilities and employ mitigating techniques to stay ahead of dynamic threats, maintain continuity of operations, and protect the integrity and confidentiality of our customers’ information assets from an organizational and personal perspective.
