Through MTS Class, the firm operates as an authorized CompTIA training partner, providing industry certifications that double as a credentialed talent pipeline for client engagements.

The business model is federal-contracting and enterprise IT services-centric. Revenue is generated through professional services contracts, managed IT and cybersecurity services, and training program fees. The customer base spans U.S. federal agencies across DOJ, Commerce, State, DHS, NIH, NOAA, DoD, DOT, FDA, NEH, and VA, alongside enterprise and defense contractor clients including Wells Fargo, ManTech, Deloitte, IBM, SAP NS2, and UMGC. Geographic footprint is concentrated in Maryland, with no disclosed international operations. A joint capability partnership with Obsidian Global, LLC extends delivery capacity for DevOps and HPC engagements.
