Who We Are
Technology never tires. Because tech is always moving. Always growing.
Always changing. Yep, it just changed again. We’re OTOT, as in “OH_TOT.”
How we’re pronounced is less important than what we do, and what we do is
tech. More specifically, we help Federal agencies and organizations optimize
their technology to solve complex business challenges. This phrase is our
daily reminder to keep moving.
If you’re a problem solver, find it easy to time manage and organize, and
crush it in team settings, then you may be our next Social Media Content Specialist.
