FTI was founded in Santa Barbara, California, in May of 1985 by Mr. Lavon F. Jordan and Mr. Joseph S. Hashem. The company spent the first five years servicing the Air Force aircraft community. From 1990 to 1995, FTI expanded its offerings, increased the win rate in Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) / Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and established a core business base in space systems. During the next four years, a powerful set of IT offerings were developed, and Military Space and ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) were expanded as core business elements. From 2000 through 2005, in an effort to create synergy and market focus, numerous business areas were refined and consolidated, while FTI strategically acquired compatible companies. FTI has also developed four mature products that are synergistic with our core business service offerings, all of which are in high growth areas. In July 2004, FTI spun-out Commercial IT as a wholly-owned subsidiary of FTI.
During its nearly 25 year history, FTI has steadily developed its sterling reputation and goodwill in the highly competitive arena of government support, the backbone of the Company. Being ever responsive to changing economic and political situations has resulted in diversification into military space systems, information technology services, and homeland security projects. FTI supports its services with an impressive range of FTI developed and other best-of-breed software products.
FTI’s guiding principle is, as always, “Exceeding Customer Expectations.” Molded by the vision and technical expertise of Lavon Jordan, Chairman, since its founding in 1985, FTI has grown to a dedicated staff of nearly 100 engineers, programmers, analysts, and support personnel. |
