"NCI's expertise in systems and network security helped USTRANSCOM win the National Security Agency's national-level "Frank B. Rowlett Trophy" twice in the last 5 years for exhibiting the highest degree of excellence and initiative in the field of information systems security. We are pleased to now be able to support NSA directly."

SES focuses on the innovative application of information technology and services for national security programs.

According to Bill Korink, Senior Vice President for Intelligence, "part of our growth strategy is to continue pushing into cutting edge areas such as Knowledge Management and Information Assurance." The company hopes to use this access to provide the outstanding service needed to increase its reputation as an expert in providing knowledge management solutions. Work on this contract is slated to begin immediately.
