What i3solutions does

i3solutions, Inc. is a privately-held, SBA-certified small business founded in 1997 by Scot Johnson and Michael Branson, headquartered in Sterling, Virginia with offices in Washington, DC and Tampa, Florida. The firm operates as a long-tenured Microsoft System Integrator and custom software development consultancy, serving US federal civilian agencies (including the National Security Agency, Department of Homeland Security, and the Executive Office of the President), Department of Defense and Intelligence Community entities, and commercial enterprises across healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, Abbott Laboratories), financial services (Fannie Mae), defense (Northrop Grumman, SAIC, ManTech, Pratt & Whitney), construction (Bechtel), professional services (Deloitte, LMI), and consumer products (Le Creuset).

The firm's technology stack is anchored in the Microsoft ecosystem — SharePoint, Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate, Power BI), Azure, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Teams, and custom .NET application development — supplemented by certified integration practices with IBM (Top Gun Silver), Okta, ServiceNow, Salesforce, Esri ArcGIS (Silver), AWS, Google Cloud, Nintex, K2, and Alfresco. Beyond services, i3solutions maintains three wholly-owned proprietary platforms: the Virtual Proposal Center (i3VPC) for proposal management, the Joint Collaboration Information Platform (JCIP) for defense and intelligence data fusion, and i3CivilAnalytics (i3CA) for human-driven national security analytics. The portfolio also includes a recently introduced Custom AI Consulting & Integration Services practice covering Generative AI, custom ChatGPT implementations, NLP, and predictive analytics.

i3solutions generates revenue through three professional services streams: Microsoft consulting and custom application development, contract-based technical staffing of specialized developers (SharePoint, Power Platform, .NET, Azure, Dataverse), and end-to-end custom software development. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than disclosed publicly. The go-to-market is primarily direct enterprise and federal field sales, supported by RFP responses for government contracts and referrals via the Microsoft partner ecosystem. With a reported 11–50 employees, an SBA small-business designation, no disclosed external funding, and no M&A activity, the firm relies on senior cleared consultants and long-tenured client relationships — including 25+ years of Microsoft practice and marquee logos across defense, healthcare, finance, and construction — as its primary commercial assets.
