At ODS, we believe that every customer deserves the highest level of attention and care. We also believe that customer service is the most important aspect of our business.

It Makes Sense
For many in the civilian and military defense contracting industries, emphasis is placed on what has been done more so than what can be done, or even what could have been done better. Here at ODS, we proudly display the history of what we have accomplished in the past, but remain focused on the fact that our continued success is dependent on your success. In order to succeed it is essential for us to train and maintain personnel in the latest and newest technologies and methodologies. By ensuring our personnel maintain expertise and awareness of groundbreaking and innovative new technologies, we are able to provide cutting edge solutions while enabling clients to later seamlessly transition into the technologies and applications of the future.
More importantly, as those of you who are in or have worked with military and government organizations will be aware, we are able to identify technologies which may appear suitable for civilian and defense applications yet can fail to deliver in key performance areas. Likewise, there are occasions where an application which may initially appear unsuited to specific areas of commercial or government use may in fact be the best choice for a given environment or set of circumstances. In each of these cases, we can identify, explain, and provide a comprehensive and detailed cost benefit analysis of established and developing solutions.
ODS invests and reinvests into both our corporate capabilities and the abilities of our personnel. In doing so we are able to bring you the highest levels of operational, technical, and regional capability available in any equally specialized shop.

Our core focus is to provide reliable, innovative, and scalable IT Solutions that enable our customers to achieve essential business goals and objectives.
We are a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), as well as a Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) employing state-of-the-art concierge level information technology services and solutions for customers desiring Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who understand their needs, wants, and requirements, and are able to deliver a full array of technical competence to fulfill those needs.
ODS has over twenty years of industry experience providing cost-effective, technical solutions to a host of government organizations and commercial establishments. Our service offerings comprise, but are not limited to the installation, configuration, operation, maintenance and design and integration of systems hardware and software, and related infrastructure. Prior to service execution, we take careful consideration of what drives our client’s business, and develop solutions that are tailored to their specific needs.
We realize the significance of having the right technology and aptitude to keep up with the fast-paced digital disruption affecting the value proposition of existing goods and services in the marketplace. As a result, we feel that it is our responsibility to help our customers understand and embrace the latest technological trends and developments and build trust in our solutions. This customer-centric approach not only affirms our commitment to empowering our clients for success, but also affords us the opportunity to shape the growth and culture of their businesses and cultivate long-term relationships.
Our organization and personnel have supported all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, in numerous capacities and venues. Our workforce comprises an assortment of incredibly talented and diverse individuals who proactively identify and implement solutions to problems and enhance existing client operations. In support of our staff, we incorporate an employee friendly philosophy that influences corporate decision-making at the highest level. Precisely, our philosophy is to take care of our employees and empower them to take care of our customers.
Consequently, our culture is one built on ownership, which is NOT assigned or given, but rather taken. We don’t appoint ownership. It happens when an employee comes forward and says, “I’m going to make this happen. Here’s what I will do. Here’s what I will accomplish. And here’s how I will measure progress.” Employees who take ownership naturally have the habit of exposing problems because they get in the way of their success. Correspondingly, these employees raise issues, research solutions, and ask questions — all because they want to succeed.
As we continue to grow, we hope that this principle serves each new member joining our team. For it is the ideas, skills, consistent effort, and good judgment of the many hardworking men and women of Optimal Defense Solutions that make us who we are and creates value for the customers we service and the communities in which we live and work.
At ODS, we are passionate about our employees and strive to provide them a positive work environment that rewards exceptional performance, supports professional development, provides career growth opportunities, and values their contribution to the success of the company. Furthermore, we are honored to serve our customers and grateful for their business. Our success is predicated upon their success. And by working in unison, we are able to help our customers accomplish more, go further, and do better. Past performance has taught us that people don’t do business with companies. Rather, people do business with people. Subsequently, people are and will always be our greatest commodity and most prized resource. It is therefore imperative that we continuously engage the people who are most important to us (our employees and our customers). Having said that, we welcome all inquiries into how we can help your organization reach new levels of success and performance.
