QTSI began operations in 1991. Today, we are a scientific and engineering company intently focused on our core competence. Every employee owner has a stake in the company and is highly motivated to deliver customer satisfaction. Whether we are the prime integrator of a complex system development effort or providing a single subject matter expert, all of our employee owners relish the opportunity to perform and serve.
Our culture is reflected in the organization of the company, which is compact, organized for efficient communication, and tuned for rapid response to opportunities and challenges. Our values map directly to our strategy and significantly influence business direction within our core competencies.
The focus of the company is the technical mitigation of threats to assets, individuals, and groups by detecting, processing, and analyzing raw data. Raw data may be technical in nature, such as produced by sensors, and non-technical in nature, such as those contained in databases, intelligence sources, and other natural language forms. We analyze these data streams for signatures and rapidly generate and report actionable information.
Since its current core competence was established in 1998, QTSI has experienced significant growth every year. We attempt to control our growth to be no more than 30% per year due to the complex nature of our work and requirements for near perfect quality. Since 1998, we have enjoyed a growth rate of between 25% and 35% per year.
