Solutions for Government and Business Since 1989

Since 1996, SDI has invested in building a technology-based consultancy that addresses the needs of owners and managers of spatially-oriented physical assets. Today, we are a force to contend with. From 911 centers to airports to commercial real estate, SDI’s professionals are trusted to keep their mission critical systems operating efficiently. SDI embodies the technical breadth, depth of talent, and complex systems experience of a national, top-tier systems integrator - with a reputation of sticking with our projects until our obligations are met and our clients are successful. For over 10 years, we’ve been there for our clients, and people are taking notice.

It began in 1989 when SDI President David A. Gupta gathered together a group of talented engineering-oriented professionals with evolving technology skills and focused their technical systems expertise to better fulfill the operational needs of clients. From a single yet complex government departmental client, SDI expanded further into the public sector, real estate, utility, education, and transportation industries. Today, SDI is a privately-held company comprised of more than 100 business and technology professionals averaging 14 years of industry-specific experience per employee.

Continuing to build on our core competency of managing strategic assets through technology, the company, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, now supports operations for nearly 150 clients, achieving consistent annual growth in revenues.

SDI strives to attain its mission of becoming the preeminent advisory services firm in its customer set by working within a framework of carefully selected core values:

Conducting everyday business with a commitment to ethics
Committing ourselves to operational excellence as we deliver customer value through our services
Providing transparency in business delivery - our clients will know how we provide their services, when we do it, and if it meets their expectations
Being solid corporate citizens in giving back to our community
Empowering a diverse workforce - embracing, respecting, and promoting diversity to reflect the communities that we serve. (See our Diversity Statement for more information on our diversity practices.)
Maintaining a constant transfer of knowledge to our clients

From the back office to the front lines, we're there.
