Fila Group has more than 15 years of experience providing practical and effective services in a suite of IT strategy and transformation areas including enterprise architecture and strategic planning, acquisition management, capital planning and investment control as well as Cloud strategy and transformation.

"The 8(a) certification is an important benchmark for Fila Group that will allow us to bring our expertise to a broader range of government clients," said Jonathan Keough, President and Chief Operating Officer.
