Government services firm specializing in defense, health, and cybersecurity modernization
Knowesis is a defense and federal services contractor built on a hybrid cloud foundation (Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, on-premise SQL Server and Oracle) serving DoD, VA, DHS, and USAID. The stack reveals a maturity pattern: legacy infrastructure (Access, SPSS, SAS) alongside modern analytics (Python, Shiny), paired with a hiring mix skewed toward senior technical staff and research roles—typical of government consulting shops handling compliance-heavy, mission-critical work. Active projects span cloud migrations, cybersecurity hardening, and health-systems modernization, while pain points center on DoD compliance, infrastructure scaling, and data migration across geographically distributed operations.
Knowesis operates as a service-disabled veteran-owned and woman-owned enterprise founded in 2007, with headquarters in San Antonio and offices in Fairfax, Virginia. The company works exclusively with federal civilian and defense agencies, including the Defense Health Agency, Department of Veterans Affairs, Air Force Medical Readiness Agency, and U.S. Special Operations Command. Their engagement model spans analytics, strategic IT planning, cloud modernization, cybersecurity policy implementation, and program management. Core delivery areas include enterprise architecture (DoDAF, TOGAF), mission-critical infrastructure support for 60+ field locations and 2,000+ users, and health-systems transformation projects.
Knowesis uses Azure Government, AWS GovCloud, SQL Server, Oracle, Python, Shiny, SharePoint, ServiceNow, Active Directory, and legacy tools like SPSS and SAS. Infrastructure is managed via VMware vSphere and Hyper-V.
Clients include the Defense Health Agency, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Homeland Security, USAID, and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM).
