FAIRFAX, Va., June 29 (UPI) -- Salient Federal Solutions Inc. said Tuesday it acquired technology company SGIS as part of its aim to build a worldwide IT and engineering concern.

SGIS is a California privately held company that offers the federal government technologically focused services and solutions in the areas of information technology, intelligence analysis, cybersecurity and engineering training.

Clients include the U.S. Department of Defense, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Department of Homeland Security and the intelligence community.

Details of the acquisition deal between Salient Federal Solutions and Skillstorm Inc. for SGIS weren't immediately available.

"SGIS is the type of strategic acquisition we have been seeking," said Brad Antle, president and chief executive officer of Salient Federal Solutions, an information technology and engineering solutions company founded in partnership with Frontenac Company LLC.

Frontenac is a private investment firm.

"They (SGIS) provide an incredible team of talented professionals with exactly the right set of skills in demand by our customers, and their concentration in the classified defense and intelligence markets is a plus," he said.
