History
TRS Consulting was founded in 2001 by current President and CEO Richard Stroupe. The company was originally focused on Senior Oracle Database support, however in 2005 TRS added agile software development as an additional core competency. Today the company provides information systems life cycle services, solutions and training within the US intelligence community.

Prior to founding TRS, Stroupe worked for Oracle Corporation, providing both core and applications senior database administration for the National Systems Consulting Group as well as the US intelligence consulting divisions for SAIC and BAE Systems. Richard has also taught Oracle database administration courses for the past five years at various local universities and corporations and is co-author of Oracle Database 10g Insider Solutions.

In December 2007, TRS Consulting partnered with Objectivity, Inc., a provider of distributed, SOA-enabled, real-time data management platforms for software applications with complex data management challenges. The partnership was formed to help expand the presence of both companies in the Federal Government Defense and Intelligence Community market.

In August 2009, TRS was acquired by NCI Information Systems, Inc. (http://www.nciinc.com/), a, largely, Government-contracting firm headquartered in Reston, Virginia.

Organization
TRS now employs nearly 60 experts that all have Top Secret – Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS – SCI) clearance, due to the company’s work with the U.S. Intelligence Community. Experts support the firm’s two major service offering groups – Consulting and Training/R&D.

TRS reported revenues of $13 million in FY 2008 and has experienced overall growth of 370% over the past four years. All employees are TRS shareholders through our employee stock ownership program.
