Descriptiontext

PSCI (legal name Progressive Software Computing, Inc.) is a privately held IT staffing and consulting firm founded in 1993 and headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware. The firm places technology professionals across contract, contract-to-hire, and permanent engagement models, with named specialization areas spanning software development, data and analytics, cybersecurity and compliance, IT infrastructure and networking, project management office (PMO), product management, UI/UX design, and clinical/pharma-adjacent roles including clinical statistics, pharmacovigilance, and healthcare IT. PSCI also provides IT consulting services encompassing workforce planning and retention strategy support.

The company serves clients nationally from its Delaware Valley headquarters, with named customer verticals in healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and government agencies. PSCI holds a GSA Schedule contract, enabling federal agency IT staffing engagements. Customer evidence includes a ten-plus-year relationship with a pharmaceutical director and government IT director engagements, and the firm has been recognized on the Inc. 5000 and Philadelphia 100 fastest-growing privately held companies lists for three consecutive years. Leadership is led by Christopher J. O'Neill as President & CEO.

PSCI's revenue model is professional services-based, generating income through quoted, negotiated bill rates on contract staffing placements and placement fees on permanent hires. The go-to-market is sales-led direct enterprise engagement with account managers, supplemented by content marketing (blog, Consultant Connection and IT Industry Rundown newsletters), social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, X), and selective industry event participation. Recurring recognition on growth lists through 2024 plus active expansion announcements in late 2025 and 2026 — including new practice areas in product management, PMO, and digital transformation — indicate sustained but bounded growth at a sub-250-person scale.
