Our History

As is the case at the inauguration of many successful entrepreneurial ventures, HeiTech Services began modestly when President/CEO Heidi Gerding launched the firm in 1999 from an office located in the basement of her home.

From the start, however, Ms. Gerding’s commitment to client service and drive to achieve success was far from modest. In naming her new firm “HeiTech Services,” Ms. Gerding put the customer first – and placed her own name, reputation, and personal guarantee up front and on the line.

This unique commitment to client service, and the ability to follow through with superior performance, explains why HeiTech Services has grown extensively in slightly over nine years – and will continue this pace of growth in the years to come.

A Naval Academy graduate, Heidi Gerding retained her Annapolis roots by headquartering HeiTech Services in nearby Lanham, MD. Founded in October 1999, HeiTech Services operates under a customer focused, employee driven model, offering onsite and offsite support services to federal government clients. The firm’s mission is to provide excellent customer service and promote a rewarding work environment in which both the company and its employees share common goals.

Since its founding, HeiTech Services has grown from a two-person firm operating in a home-based office to a $23 M business (2008 revenues) with nearly 450 employees and approximately 15,000 square feet of office space. Currently, the firm serves eleven federal departments and agencies.

HeiTech Services provides solutions under the following four business areas:

• Information Technology Services;
• Management Consulting and Program Support;and
• Professional Support Services.

HeiTech Services has established working relationships with a number of large businesses, including Booz Allen Hamilton, Computer Sciences Corporation, ICF Consulting, Mathematica Policy Research, Macro International, and Perot Systems Government Services. Further, through partnership agreements with leading academic institutions, HeiTech Services offers its clients access to knowledge leaders from the Universities of Maryland, Kentucky, and South Carolina.

One of our most recent and successful business relationships has been forged with SI International, Inc, a large-scale mission-critical IT solutions service provider. HeiTech Services and SI International have formed a team under the Department of Homeland Security's Mentor-Protégé Program. SI International successfully demonstrates its commitment to small businesses, specifically HeiTech Services, by providing technical, operational and managerial mentoring.
