Descriptiontext

IIT Inc. is a privately held IT consulting and staffing firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in the New York City Metro area (Melville, NY). The company's core offering is the deployment of technology professionals to client engagements on a contract, project, direct-hire, or managed-service-provider basis, with a workforce of roughly 400 consultants (most with 5+ years of experience) supported by 251-500 total employees. IIT also offers technology consulting services spanning application development and integration, IT infrastructure and database management, ERP configuration and support, and business analysis/project management, and in 2015 added a multimedia communication line (video production, drone cinematography, digital marketing) targeted at public-safety and government clients.

The company's customer base is anchored in the US public sector, with preferred-vendor and contract-vehicle relationships with the New York State Office of General Services (NYS HBITS, NYS PBITS), various New York State agencies, the MTA, NYC FISA, NYCHA, NYS OAG, and NYS ERDA, plus expansion into state government clients in North Carolina, Massachusetts, Florida, Texas, California, Ohio, and Colorado. Beyond government, IIT serves Fortune-500 and emerging-company clients in Financial Services, Healthcare, Retail/Consumer Products, and Technology verticals. The firm is a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) in New York State, New York City, and Massachusetts, and an SDVOB — diversity-supplier status that materially shapes its access to set-aside government contracts.

Revenue mechanics are services-based: usage-based hourly bill rates for contract consultants, transaction-fee direct-hire placement, professional-services project fees, and managed-services/MSP arrangements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with transparent hourly structures only on certain government contract vehicles (e.g., NYS HBITS). IIT markets primarily through its corporate website, an active blog, SEO, and a self-service candidate job portal, and delivers through onsite, offsite, onshore, nearshore, and offshore models. The company is founder/management-owned with no documented institutional investment or M&A activity.
