What MDEC International does

MDEC International is a privately held US IT and engineering services company incorporated in Maryland in 1990, operating a hybrid US-India delivery model in which US engineers perform system-level design and quality assurance while India-based programmers handle software and hardware development. The company targets small and midsize businesses as its primary segment, supplemented by historical work for US federal agencies (notably NASA) and enterprises such as 3M and Honeywell, and generates revenue through a portfolio of professional services — custom software development, website design and SEO, network and computer services, IT/patent consulting, and electronic engineering — alongside hardware sales (custom servers, workstations, business PCs, and RAID storage systems).

The company's proprietary product portfolio includes Real Time Auto Backup (RTB) software for continuous data protection, the Physician2Patient (P2P) Network — a granted US patent (No. 7,613,620) for healthcare IT automation targeting medical-office overhead reduction — and Poult-Soft, a multi-version costing and management software line for the global poultry/veterinary industry deployed across 11 countries. Pricing is built around a cost-arbitrage value proposition: template websites start at $495, custom development is positioned at 50%+ below US/European alternatives, remote maintenance subscriptions exploit a 10-hour US-India time difference, and hardware is priced up to 30% below brand-name vendors. Go-to-market relies on the company website, SEO and directory-submission services, onsite consulting-led sales for larger projects, and bottom-of-funnel word-of-mouth, with the company claiming presence across 12 countries via offices, resellers, and customers.

The company is founder-owned, has no disclosed external institutional funding, and the website (copyright 2002-2012) shows limited recent investment in customer-facing channels. Reported scale signals include the 12-country footprint, the 11-country Poult-Soft deployment, and the India development center established in 2001, but no revenue, headcount, or active-growth indicators are disclosed.
