SAGE Black History

SAGE Black was created in 2005 to provide high quality, customer centric IT consulting & contracting services to Top Secret, Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) programs in the Intelligence Community (IC).

The company’s name reflects the technology, inspiration, ambition and audacity of the Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) System built by the US Department of Defense during the Cold War to solve a large scale data fusion problem. Black represents the company’s commitment to classified programs and support of U.S. national security

The founders believed they could improve the model for delivering resources to TS/SCI programs, and this new model would provide a significant opportunity to deliver a continuous pipeline of highly talented, highly skilled and highly motivated consultants. These consultants possess the talent, skills and attitude to deliver with any tool in any domain and understand that the reason they are engaged on any project is that they deliver value to their customer.

The SAGE Black delivery capabilities have evolved and expanded from where we began with Oracle centric services delivery, and have grown to deliver a broader range of services including Java, web development and large datastore delivery in governmental and commercial markets.

One thing has not changed and that is the focus on and understanding of our customer’s needs and developing people and products to meet those needs.
