WITS

What WITS does

WITS, LLC (Williams Information Technology Services) is a Baltimore, Maryland-based IT consulting firm founded in January 2007 that provides software engineering, systems engineering, program management, systems administration, training, and cyber security services. The company operates primarily as a staff augmentation and professional services provider, placing cleared and certified IT professionals across the Acquisition Life Cycle Management Framework for federal government, defense, and commercial clients. Service delivery draws on CMMI Level 2+ process experience, ITIL-trained staff, VMWare-certified virtualization engineers, and Certified Ethical Hackers/Security Analysts for cyber work.

The firm's business model is B2B professional services sold through direct enterprise and government engagement, supplemented by referral-based business development and networking events such as the WITS Business Bowl. WITS holds SBA HUBZone certification (May 2012) and Minority-Owned Small Business status, which provide preferential access to set-aside federal contracts. It also runs an ongoing ADET (E51) training program, instructing approximately 15 classes per year with a student base of 380. Named clients and ecosystem contacts include Lockheed Martin, L-3 Communications, Tata Consultancy Services, IBM, Kenjya Group, and Sotera Defense, suggesting positioning as a small specialty sub-contractor to federal primes rather than as a prime contractor itself. The firm is privately held by founder/CEO Vijay Williams with no disclosed outside funding or parent entity.
