What Zivaro does

Zivaro is a US-based federal and aerospace IT services firm founded in 1998, headquartered in Colorado Springs following its December 2024 acquisition by Trace3. The company delivers a portfolio of managed IT services and professional technology solutions centered on Federal Systems Integration, Software Modernization Development, and Managed IT Services spanning cloud and data center, network and SD-WAN, security, and SIEM. Its workforce is anchored by hundreds of cleared engineers, enabling delivery on sensitive federal and aerospace programs requiring government security clearances. The company positions itself as the bridge between technology and mission success for federal, aerospace, energy, and state/local government clients, with emphasis on security-driven solutions and seamless system integration.

The business model is professional services and managed services revenue, delivered through direct enterprise sales to government agencies and aerospace organizations via federal procurement vehicles. Revenue streams include technology assessments, project-based engineering support, ongoing managed IT contracts, and resident engineering services. The company holds AWS Cloud Migration Partner status and, for its state/local and education practice, Cisco Gold Partner status with Master Unified Communications, Master Cloud Builder, and Master Security certifications. Following the Trace3 acquisition, Zivaro operates as the foundation of the new Trace3 Government division, becoming Trace3's third vertical alongside its commercial and other segments.

Customer segments are organized by vertical rather than by size, with US federal agencies as the primary segment and aerospace, energy, and state/local government and education as secondary verticals. Marketing and distribution rely on direct enterprise field sales supported by LinkedIn presence, blog and thought leadership content, press releases, and Trace3's broader digital channels. No external funding rounds or independent revenue figures are disclosed; prior inorganic activity includes the July 2018 acquisition of Aegis Identity Software. Leadership comprises Greg Byles as Chief Executive Officer and Glenn Smith as President and Co-Founder.
