What Executive Information Systems does

Executive Information Systems (EIS), LLC is a privately held, Bethesda, Maryland-based government IT solutions provider founded in 1999 by Charles Mathews and Patrick Krause. The company operates as a value-added reseller and services partner for SAS Institute software, targeting federal, state, and local government agencies through a broad portfolio of procurement vehicles that includes a GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract, NASA SEWP V and Army ITES-SW2 access via a Four, Inc. partnership, OMNIA Partners cooperative purchasing, and 12+ state-specific contracts. Its core offering is the full SAS software catalog delivered alongside implementation, migration, modernization, and remote managed services, with growing emphasis on SAS Viya cloud deployment.

In December 2022, EIS acquired Zencos Consulting LLC, expanding its portfolio into strategy consulting, cloud adoption and migration, data management and visualization, data science and analytics, UI/mobile development, and managed services. Through this affiliation, EIS delivers ML-enabled accelerators for financial-crime detection and compliance, public safety and criminal justice analytics, and GovCloud transition services. Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time SAS software licensing, recurring annual maintenance, professional services, training, and managed services, all sourced exclusively through government contract channels with pricing handled on a quote basis against pre-negotiated vehicles. Customer segments span federal agencies, state agencies across 12+ states, local governments using cooperative purchasing, and dedicated use-case verticals in public safety, criminal justice, and government finance/compliance.

The business is founder-led (President Charles Mathews and Executive Vice President Patrick Krause remain active), with a leadership team including CFO Linda Scharf, Director of Sales Chris DeLauter, and Director of Contracts Jonathan Ward. The company has 51-100 employees, no external institutional investment, and recently secured a $3.99M contract with Cuyahoga County in November 2025 to replace an obsolete jail management system, illustrating its progression from pure software resale into larger, multi-year modernization engagements.

Direct peers

• Carahsoft Technology Corp. The largest government IT value-added reseller in the U.S., distributing software (including analytics, security, and cloud products) to federal, state, and local agencies via GSA and partner contracts — the closest large-scale analog to EIS's SAS-focused government VAR model.
• immixGroup: Government IT distribution and channel-services company that helps software vendors reach federal customers via contract vehicles (GSA, SEWP, ITES-SW2). Highly comparable to EIS as a public-sector software VAR with strong channel-partner positioning.
• DLT Solutions (An Insight Public Sector company): Government-focused technology solutions aggregator distributing enterprise software (analytics, cloud, security) to federal agencies; directly comparable in customer base (federal/state), contract-vehicle strategy, and software-resale-plus-services model.
• Mythics Inc. Small-business government IT solutions provider specializing in analytics, cloud, and enterprise software resale to federal/state agencies. Closely comparable in small-business set-aside positioning and mission to public-sector customers.
• Four, Inc. EIS's primary channel partner for SEWP V, ITES-SW2, and OMNIA Partners. Operates the same federal contract vehicles and serves the same government end customers — a direct competitor and partner at the same time.
• ViON Corporation: IT solutions provider to federal agencies, with focus on data center, cloud, analytics, and managed services. Comparable in serving federal customers with a mix of software/hardware resale plus professional and managed services.
• Unison Technologies: Small-business federal IT contractor providing software, services, and solutions to government agencies, with expertise in analytics and enterprise platforms. Comparable in scale, small-business positioning, and federal contract-vehicle strategy.
• MicroTechnologies LLC: Small-business federal IT and professional services contractor delivering networking, cybersecurity, and IT operations to defense and civilian agencies — comparable small-business federal contractor profile.

Broad incumbents

• CDW Government LLC (CDW-G): The government division of CDW, one of the largest IT VARs in the U.S. Overlaps with EIS in federal/state software resale but operates at significantly greater scale and across a far broader vendor portfolio.
• SHI International (Public Sector): Large diversified IT VAR with a dedicated public-sector practice covering federal, state, local, and education customers. Comparable in government customer focus and software/services mix, but much broader and larger than EIS.
