Integrated Program Solutions

What Integrated Program Solutions does

Integrated Program Solutions, Inc. (IPS) is a privately-held, Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business founded in 2009 by Cory Yager and Yu-Hsuan (u-SHEN) Chen and headquartered at 46631 Corporate Drive, Lexington Park, Maryland. The firm delivers specialized program management, systems engineering, and technical consulting services to U.S. Department of Defense acquisition programs, with Navy program offices (NAVAIR region) representing the dominant customer base. IPS maintains additional offices in Patuxent River, Hanover, and Bethesda, Maryland, and San Diego, California, positioning personnel on-site at customer locations to provide relationship-driven, co-located support. The firm operates with a lean headcount in the 11-50 employee band and is structured under NAICS codes 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services).

The company's service portfolio is organized around nine interconnected practice areas anchored on Integrated Project Scheduling and built on Microsoft Project and OnePager: Software Integration, Rapid Capability Integration (using Middle Tier Acquisition pathways), Systems Engineering, Program/Project Controls, Earned Value Management, Program Integration, Supply Chain Management, and Risk Management. The underlying technical approach integrates scope, schedule, and cost data into a single EVM performance management system, with proprietary risk quantification frameworks that translate schedule risk into cost and schedule impact analysis. Notably, IPS employees were instrumental in developing the DoD scheduling process and toolkits, giving the firm institutional influence over defense acquisition standards disproportionate to its size.

IPS generates revenue through professional services contracts with DoD program offices and federal agencies, almost certainly on time-and-materials or cost-plus arrangements typical of defense contracting. Its go-to-market is field-based and relationship-driven, leveraging SDVOSB status to access set-aside government contracts through direct engagement and procurement vehicles including the GSA Schedule. Distribution is single-channel: direct government contracting with on-site delivery. The firm is bootstrapped, with no disclosed venture capital, private equity, or acquisition activity, and ownership appears retained by the founders. (Note: firmographic metadata lists Kuta, Indonesia as city/country, but every other source—including the legal entity, founders' history, office addresses, contact details, and job postings—confirms a Maryland, USA operating base.)

Core offering

Integrated Program Solutions (IPS) is a professional services firm delivering integrated program management and technical consulting services to U.S. Department of Defense and federal government program offices. Services span integrated project scheduling, software integration, rapid capability integration, systems engineering, program/project controls (including Earned Value Management), supply chain management, and risk management, delivered on-site with subject-matter experts co-located at customer sites.

Product overview

Integrated Program Solutions (IPS) is a professional services firm offering an integrated suite of program management and technical consulting services for defense acquisition programs. The company's portfolio centers on six interconnected service areas: Integrated Project Scheduling (the core capability), Software Integration, Rapid Capability Integration, Systems Engineering, Program/Project Controls (including Earned Value Management), and Program Integration. Additionally, IPS offers complementary Supply Chain Management and Risk Management services. Rather than a single software product with modules, IPS provides a coordinated service offering where these capabilities work together to support DoD program offices—from scheduling and cost control through systems engineering and software integration—with an emphasis on breaking down communication barriers between engineering disciplines and functional teams.
