On June 2, 2011, Apptis was acquired by URS Federal Services Inc.
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 health care 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 Federal Aviation Administration (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.
In 2009, to distinguish the Apptis technology services delivery from the value-added reseller component, the company divided into separate operating units. Today, Apptis continues to provide essential IT and communications services to key Defense and Civilian agencies.
