About STP

Focused on building essential systems.

Our Vision

We aspire to do what others cannot. We share the same sentiment towards overcoming challenges that the great scientists and engineers before us used to solve the world’s most difficult problems.

Who We Are

Our company’s roots date back to building one of the largest most advanced IT infrastructure systems in the world.

In 1999, STP’s founders, Michael Fadely and Robert Goldberg were among the first people to join the IRS modernization effort. Coming from CSC’s commercial consulting division, both Michael and Robert were tasked with leading the implementation of the infrastructure’s shared services. While building these critical systems, Michael and Robert came to realize that no single company was specifically focused on the unique capabilities needed to construct large scale systems with data and information so sensitive that a breach could threaten a business’ future. In 2005, STP was formed to answer the need for such a business. In 2014, James Gander joined Robert and Michael as an STP owner and principle bringing over 26 years of large-scale federal information technology consulting services leadership and business experience.
