The Company’s commercial business is comprised of the Apex and Oxford segments. The ECS Segment, the Company’s federal government IT solutions business, delivers advanced solutions in cloud, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, machine learning, application and IT modernization, science and engineering to U.S. defense, intelligence and federal civilian agencies.

The Company has three major revenue streams: (i) contract, (ii) permanent placement and (iii) federal government IT solutions.
