Antares Technology Solutions

What Antares Technology Solutions does

Antares Technology Solutions (legal entity Antares, LLC) is a custom software development and IT consulting firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in the New Orleans–Baton Rouge–Metairie corridor of Louisiana. The company builds bespoke enterprise, cloud, mobile, client/server, and portal applications — predominantly on the Microsoft .NET stack — for clients in federal/state/local government, healthcare, insurance, oil & gas, logistics, manufacturing, and other regulated industries. Its productized platforms include eVault LA, a cloud-based statewide land-records portal serving 45–53 Louisiana parishes, and NLightTemplate, an open-source .NET string template library released under MIT License.

The business operates on a professional services revenue model combining fixed-price custom software development, dedicated project teams, staff augmentation, software consulting, and managed application hosting. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no publicly disclosed tiers. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting Louisiana and the Gulf South region, supplemented by inside sales pursuing Austin, Houston, and Dallas expansion, and a GSA MAS Schedule 70 contract (#47QTCA20D002W) enabling federal procurement. Marketing is driven by long-running event sponsorships (Louisiana IT Symposium, SQL Saturday, Tech Tuesday for 10+ years) and the A-Team Insights blog.

Antares is a privately held company with 11–50 employees and no disclosed external institutional investment. Following the 2013 merger with eGov Systems and the 2015 Inc. 5000 recognition (#364, 1277% three-year growth), the company has continued as a regional consultancy. In February 2023, Barrett Conrad became President, CEO and owner, succeeding Ralph Melian. The company maintains Microsoft Silver Partner status (five consecutive years) and offers an AI Software Development Services line, though no proprietary AI technology is disclosed.
