About

IOP was founded in 2001 to create a different kind of small business. This idea was two-fold: first, IOP wanted to attract experienced technology and management consultants with deep understanding in their fields; second, we hoped to find, within this talented group of individuals, those who had grown weary of the size of, and travel involved with, the Big 4 model. In the early years, IOP provided services to both federal and commercial customers. However, in the wake of the tragic events of 9/11, IOP’s focus shifted entirely to the federal space and we are proud to have been on the ground, contributing to many of the goals set forth by the formation of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In 2004, we made the decision to focus entirely on the federal government – a focus we still maintain today.

Our first decade was one of broadening our capabilities from a boutique consultancy to one with diverse expertise across the areas of technology strategy, program planning, technology architecture, systems development and delivery, and operations and maintenance. Over the years, we continued to develop and support large and complex initiatives and technology environments.

With broadened capabilities in hand, we began to expand our client portfolio. Today, in addition to DHS and its component agencies, IOP brings experience and institutional knowledge gained from over 10 years of operations inside both the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Department of Justice (DOJ).

As we look toward tomorrow, we continue to expand our capabilities and lean into complex technology modernization efforts, leveraging our expertise in cloud technologies, DevSecOps, and complex data integration, while expanding our data analytics experience into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).

The IOP vision is represented by a simple phrase packed with meaning – Advance Your World; Personally and professionally, we aspire to embody our vision by encouraging fearlessness, always looking to the future with a nod to the past, maintaining a high level of flexibility and combining ambition and success with compassion and humility.

IOP has evolved over the last two decades- we’ve set and met substantial goals, we’ve learned difficult but useful lessons, we’ve matured and we’ve changed direction to meet new needs in an ever-changing world, but our philosophy remains the same: to bring robust capabilities as a small, responsive firm that intentionally maintains its family-owned feel. For both our clients and employees, our vision holds true: Advance Your World.
