World Wide Technology (WWT) is a privately-held global technology solutions provider founded in 1990 by David Steward and headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The company designs, builds, deploys, and manages complex IT systems and supply chain solutions for 80+ Fortune 100 enterprises and major government agencies, generating approximately $20 billion in annual revenue with 14,000+ employees. Its core assets are the Advanced Technology Center (ATC) — a $1B digital ecosystem with 20,000+ VMs, 500+ rack capacity, 600+ pre-built capabilities, and 200+ OEM partnerships — and a global integration footprint of nearly 5 million square feet across 20+ facilities, including an expanded UK Integration Center in Coventry.
WWT's product surface spans AI & Data services, Security services (including the proprietary ARMOR AI security framework co-developed with NVIDIA and the 'Defending at the Speed of AI' initiative), Digital Experience services, Consulting & Engineering, and Supply Chain & Integration services. The AI Proving Ground and Cyber Range operate as multi-OEM validation and training environments embedded in the ATC. Revenue is generated through hardware/software procurement, integration services, and consulting engagements, with go-to-market executed via direct enterprise field sales, channel partner ecosystems (Cisco, NVIDIA, Dell, HPE, NetApp, Microsoft, AWS, Google Cloud, Palo Alto Networks), and cooperative purchasing vehicles such as OMNIA Partners for the SLED market. The company serves Fortune 100 enterprises as its primary segment, with growing exposure to federal/defense (Argonne National Laboratory, U.S. Army), financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, and the SMB/mid-market following the March 2025 acquisition of Softchoice Corporation for approximately C$1.8 billion.
