The ValidaTek Difference: Delivering innovation that delivers for government
Federal agencies face a dual challenge: keeping pace with evolving technologies while ensuring stability for mission-critical operations. With over 19 years of technology leadership experience, ValidaTek meets this challenge through its steadfast commitment to innovation, validation, and through our proven philosophy: The ValidaTek Difference. This philosophy shapes how we operate, serve, and deliver. Built on three pillars—People First, The Right Fit, and Validated Process Optimization—this philosophy drives measurable impact for the missions we support.
People First
ValidaTek has been named a Washington Post Top Workplace for six consecutive years, reflecting a culture that prioritizes people as the foundation of mission success. We empower teams to build something greater by giving them the resources, autonomy, and support they need to thrive. This approach attracts exceptionally talented professionals who build a lifelong career at ValidaTek. For customers, this means teams are more than technically capable—they are passionate, innovative, and committed to exceeding expectations.
The Right Fit
ValidaTek has grown into a mature established company and yet maintains a “small business feel” and the agility of a lean team to rapidly adapt to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
- The agility of small business: close professional relationships, quick decision-making, direct access to leadership, and lean operations that save customers time and money
- The maturity of large business: robust processes that utilize best practices such as Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO), sophisticated capabilities, strong corporate infrastructure, and a team of renowned industry leaders with the breadth of experience to deliver exceptional outcomes at scale
Validated Process Optimization
Excellence is our baseline, and we constantly optimize performance with our robust processes that collect and analyze quantitative data tied to objectives, service level agreements, and performance requirements. ValidaTek’s IT Service Projects and New Development Projects have been appraised at CMMI Maturity Level 5, positioning us as one of a handful of elite companies to receive the highest form of third-party validation. Our exceptional process maturity allows us to offer:
- structure, focus, stability, predictability, and control,
- a management team eager to listen to the client’s ideas,
- and an opportunity to actively participate in refining and improving work practices and the program environment.
Our Philosophy in Action
“We are consistently reminded that what we coined ‘The ValidaTek Difference’ is more than words,” said Kelsey Whitman, Marketing and Communications Manager. “From consistently Exceptional CPARs from our customers to positive feedback from our teams, it is our combination of culture and process that make us a trusted partner for critical missions. Our teams are inspired to innovate and collaborate, and our processes ensure stability and predictability.”
