What ASM Research, Inc. does

ASM Research, Inc. (legal entity ASM Research, LLC) is a Fairfax, Virginia-based federal information technology solutions integrator founded in 1978 and operating today as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Accenture Federal Services (AFS), itself an affiliate of Accenture PLC. The company delivers integrated consulting, technology, and operations services to U.S. federal Defense, Civilian, and Public Safety agencies, with named customers including the U.S. Army (operating the ATRRS training management system since 1978), the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Department of Education, and the Department of State. Core service lines comprise Information Solutions (enterprise business intelligence, data analytics, AI integration, and cloud computing strategies including SaaS/IaaS/PaaS), Professional Services (data analysis, training/student management, requirements/risk/change management, agile and waterfall delivery), Cyber Security (application security testing, assessment and authorization, enterprise vulnerability management, classified network operations, NIST/HIPAA/FISMA/Privacy Act compliance), Learning/Talent Management (open-source COTS-based learning platforms), and Section 508 accessibility compliance services.

Underlying technology is a services-and-integration stack rather than a single proprietary platform: ASM combines CMMI Maturity Level 3-certified processes (reaffirmed 2025 in both Software Development and Services), cleared personnel, and federal security accreditations (notably the Defense Security Service Cogswell Award) to deliver and sustain legacy and modern mission systems. The business model is contract-based federal services revenue, generated primarily as a prime contractor on vehicles including GSA-IT 70, Army Program Executive Office – Enterprise Information Systems, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of the Army, with a secondary recurring SaaS stream for cloud-hosted federal learning and business process solutions. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at federal program offices, supported by LinkedIn/Facebook presence, AFCEA participation, and the corporate website rather than traditional consumer marketing channels. Revenue, headcount within the 1,001–5,000 band, and detailed bookings are not publicly disclosed.
