At 2020, providing high value products and deliverables is the baseline that other firms often use as a benchmark. We pride ourselves on going above and beyond client expectations. Difference is the value linked with our distinctiveness. As a result, we celebrate our differences and leverage them to create client gain.

We don't believe our value is solely derived from "experience" and "expertise". Anyone can make these claims. Choosing 2020 as a vendor or partner means choosing success; 2020 creates real value and does so by leveraging our distinct background for your organization's success. We have a strong track record of successfully delivering all of our projects on time and within budget to meet your organization's needs.

What makes us different? Why do clients seek our service? Why do companies seek our partnership? Here are just a few of those reasons 2020:

A core differentiator is our ability to create value quickly. We apply high velocity and agility in everything we do. We work quickly to gain measurable and immediate results.

We're not focused on single, short-sighted technologies. Nor are we limited to finite industries. Our portfolio of services is a comprehensive collection of capabilities formed through subject matter expertise in technologies, functional solutions, and variety of government clients.

2020 Company, LLC is classified as a small business certified by the Small Business Administration (SBA) as an 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB). 2020 is also certified as a City of Chicago Disadvantaged Business Enterprise/Minority Business Enterprise. 2020 holds this status with the State of Illinois and the State of New Jersey. 2020 has also been given certification by the Chicago Transit Authority as an official CTA DBE. By utilizing our firm, you not only get the best service but you also help meet federal mandates for SBA, 8(a) - SDB, and minority firm quotas.

The 8(a) certification by SBA is an important element of the company's growth strategy as this certification allows 2020 to compete for contracts that have been set aside for only companies within this small business program. Also, federal agencies are authorized to award contracts to an 8(a) company on a sole-source basis up to a certain contract amount and with SBA's approval. The MBE certification by 2020 is a core element of the company's growth strategy as 2020 is a preeminent organization in the State of Illinois dedicated to increasing procurement opportunities for minority business enterprises (MBEs).

In addition, 2020 is also a certified CMMI transition partner of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute.

2020 has multiple government contract vehicles by which your organization can procure our services. In addition to holding a General Services Administration Information Technology 70 Schedule, 2020 also holds a variety of Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) and Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contracts. Specifically, 2020 has a BPA and ID/IQ with the Veteran's Administration that can be used by any government organization to procure our services directly. In addition, 2020 also has a BPA with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and is currently in the process of attaining additional BPA and ID/IQ contract vehicles to make procurement simple, easy and quick for our services.

2020 has three locations throughout the U.S. and can provide off-shore development teams or centers in India. Thus, our delivery capabilities are extensive and include multiple options and infrastructure for our clients' success. This flexibility also complements our location-neutral approach for our services.

We leverage our CMMI talent and expertise not only to our clients but to ourselves. We use the CMMI methods of quality assurance and control for our projects, internal processes and procedures - we have mature quality programs that are integrated throughout the entire organization.

Managing expectations is an integral aspect of our approach to engagement management. We do not set false expectations nor do we provide excess hype or surprises. We do, however, guarantee our work to be on-time, within budget and according to the client's expectations. Our culture is focused on building successful client relationships, therefore it is essential that clear communication, and proper expectations are established, met, and understood from start to finish.

Our business value is created through efficient business models. As a result, our services are traditionally priced 10% to 50% less than the large consulting firms.

At 2020, we have developed a rich set of methodologies, tools, and templates based on industry best practices and the in-depth experience of our consultants. Combined with our leadership, we execute with maturity and quality standards.

From straightforward consulting engagements to strategic outsourcing of professional services, our flexibility allows us to work in multiple work-stream management models. This approach allows us to deliver the right amount of value - at the right time.

2020 does not believe the knowledge management transfer ends at documentation and training. At 2020, we support programs and solutions that sometimes transition our project team members into our client's organizations as full-time employees. That's real knowledge transfer.

Strong relationships with clients and partners are integral keys to success. 2020 highly values client relationships because it compels us to provide quality commitment and service. Our partner and alliances program is for technology vendors that are aligned with our core competencies. This is complemented by strategic business relationships that enable rapid results and value.
