Apptis, formerly known as PlanetGov, was founded in 1983 as a provider of network support services to government agencies. In 1998 the company was recapitalized with new leadership that continues to drive the company today.

In 2003, strategic measures were taken to expand capabilities in enterprise-wide IT solutions and to gain domain expertise in key sectors of government and the healthcare industry. As part of this effort, PlanetGov joined with several seasoned mid-sized companies (General Data Systems, Technology and Management Associates, and KMR) with focused technology and management proficiencies within the FAA, Department of Defense (DoD), Department of State, Department of Veterans Affairs, DoD Medical, and Military Health Systems. The resources of PlanetGov, GDS, TMA and KMR combined to create Apptis. In 2004, Apptis acquired SETA Corporation, a well-respected systems integrator and technology solutions provider for the DoD.

Apptis has locations in 37 states and 10 countries and was listed in 2007 and 2008 on Washington Business Journal private companies, ranked by revenue, as well as the Washington Technology Top 100 Federal Contractors.
