ABOUT WCI

WASHINGTON CONSULTING, INC. is a management and information technology consulting organization providing services to commercial and public sector clients. Headquartered in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, we specialize in the development and integration of innovative business solutions and management services for the federal government and Fortune 1000 organizations. Our two divisions allow us to effectively serve both the commercial and public sectors, and leverage our expertise across both divisions to deploy the best resources and solutions for our clients. We view each client as a strategic partner because our success is measured only by the achievements of our clients.

On February 24, 2006, Washington Consulting was acquired by Alion Science and Technology. We will continue to operate from our current locations as "Washington Consulting, an Alion Company."

As a wholly owned subsidiary of Alion, we have access to an increased set of services and resources, allowing us to provide a broader range of proven strategies and advanced technical capabilities. We remain focused on helping customers increase their productivity and profitability.

Our Organization

Our commercial group provides management consulting and information technology solutions to our clients. We have worked with executive teams across many industries to deliver strategic and tactical business solutions. Our primary focus is on delivering successful enterprise IT programs while helping IT departments deliver measurable business results, changing from a "cost center" to a profit and service driven organization. We are successful in the IT arena because we strive to understand our clients' businesses and know that technology is simply a means to an end.

Our public sector group has been established to develop long-term relationships within the federal government, focusing on civilian agencies, the intelligence community and the Department of Defense. We work as members of our customers' teams, providing extensive government IT and operational experience. Our public sector consultants possess decades of experience teaming with government agencies to provide IT solutions that make better use of increasingly limited budgets while mitigating risks, optimizing operational processes and eliminating redundancies.

Our Mission

Our mission is central to our corporate culture: we want to build the best consulting practice in the Washington market, achieving a 'trusted advisor' relationship with our commercial and public sector clients. Our approach to establishing and maintaining long-term client relationships is based on the following:

Deliver Value - we establish the value proposition of our services at the outset of every engagement and assume responsibility for exceeding goals and expectations. We are uniquely positioned to provide our clients with significant solution and industry expertise within a very competitive fee structure.

Guarantee our services - unlike the vast majority of our competitors, we guarantee client satisfaction. We pursue a rigorous quality assurance process with our employees and our clients.

Simplify the relationship - we make it easy to conduct business with Washington Consulting. Our model promotes staffing, scope and pricing flexibility - it's our job to adapt to our clients' evolving needs.

"Be local" - like the majority of our clients, we are headquartered in the Washington Metropolitan area. We pride ourselves in being an active part of the community, participating in many worthwhile business and community service ventures. We are also dedicated to serving our customers outside the Washington area, and strive to provide those clients with resources local to that market. We believe that maintaining a presence within close proximity of our clientele helps to foster a team dedicated to understanding our clients' businesses quickly and comprehensively.

Our People

One key differentiator in the marketplace is our people. We have consultants experienced in both the public sector and commercial marketplace. More than 80% of our staff have computer science or engineering backgrounds, and over 30% have doctoral or master's degrees. We attract and retain the best talent by focusing on the local market and rewarding our people based on their contribution to their clients' successes and to our company, in contrast with today's large consulting firms.
