What Ecomil does

Ecomil S.A.S. is a privately held Colombian technology solutions integrator founded in 1998 and headquartered in Bogotá, with branch offices in Cali, Bucaramanga, Barranquilla, Medellín, and Villavicencio. The company designs, supplies, and manages integrated technology solutions spanning three core product lines: Satellite Solutions (leveraging L, Ku, Ka, and X bands for terrestrial, maritime, aerial, and M2M/IoT communications, underpinned by an exclusive Iridium channel partnership established in 2002); Cybersecurity Solutions (an ecosystem comprising NGFW, Secure SD-WAN, SASE, WAF, CASB, EDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, PAM, NAC, VPN, and SOC operations, primarily resold through a Fortinet channel leadership position in Colombia); and Infrastructure and Connectivity Solutions (switches, routers, wireless, data centers, structured cabling, servers, and AI-powered video surveillance). A Professional Services layer wraps these offerings with consulting, implementation, support, and IPv4-to-IPv6 transition services.

The business model combines hardware sales (satellite equipment, networking infrastructure), subscription/recurring revenue (cybersecurity platforms and managed services), and professional services fees. Ecomil operates an enterprise field sales motion targeting Colombian government agencies, military forces, defense institutions, international organizations, energy and education customers. Pricing is quote-based and non-public, reflecting customized mission-critical deployments. Named customers include the Comando General de las Fuerzas Militares, Fuerza Aérea Colombiana, Ejército Nacional (Brigada de Ciberdefensa), Registraduría Nacional, Defensa Civil, Dirección General de Sanidad Militar, Parques Nacionales (120+ locations), Tiendas D1, SLB, GECELCA, Naciones Unidas Colombia, Cruz Roja Colombiana, Universidad Central, FUCS, IDEAM, Maloka, Coljuegos, Cirion Technologies, and Telefónica.

The company is founder-owned (Alexander Sánchez and Jhoanna Tavera) with no disclosed external institutional capital, parent company, or M&A activity. It holds exclusive provider status with the Colombian Air Force (2018) and 2023 Best Provider recognition from the Colombian Military Forces. In 2025, Ecomil reported the highest sales in its company history, while headcount remains in the 11-50 range, implying relatively high revenue-per-employee driven by large-scale defense and government contracts.
