IT firm set to bring 125 jobs to Richmond

A Fairfax County-based software consulting and managed services company, Intact Technology, is creating a second presence in the state with a location in Richmond, an expansion expected to create 125 jobs, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Wednesday.

According to Intact Technology CEO Jesse White, the company is exploring options in Richmond’s Shockoe Bottom neighborhood. “Our application process has begun,” he added in a statement later Wednesday. “We are looking for dynamic individuals wanting to start or enhance their career in IT. The anticipated start date will be early May with eight weeks (paid) of intensive IT training. One of the unique aspects of Intact’s hiring is that it is not about the experience, not that we don’t value it, but it is about the individual and their potential — the ability to adapt to different situations and to take up the challenge to learn. We value empathy over expertise, listening over speaking, execution over analysis, and challenge over comfort. This opportunity is for people who are creative, passionate, resilient, self-motivated and strive to positively impact those around them.”

The firm, which moved its headquarters from Maryland to Reston in 2020, will invest $1.5 million in the city, the governor’s office said. In October 2021, Intact Technology announced it would expand its headquarters, creating 40 jobs. The state competed with Maryland and Washington, D.C., for the Richmond project, Northam said in a statement.

“Virginia has emerged as one of North America’s premier locations for the tech sector due to our competitive operating costs, top-ranked higher education system and skilled workforce,” Northam said in a statement. “Intact Technology’s decision to open a second location speaks volumes to the many industry advantages offered by the commonwealth, and we look forward to the company’s success in the city of Richmond with this new venture.”

Intact has been named to the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s Tech 100 list, and it also has appeared for five consecutive years on The Washington Post’s Top Workplace rankings, since 2016.

In securing the project, the Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the city and the Greater Richmond Partnership, and Northam approved a $350,000 grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist the city of Richmond. Intact Tech is eligible for state benefits from the Virginia Enterprise Zone Program administered by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development, and the Virginia Jobs Investment Program will support employee training at no cost to the company.

Intact Technology to expand Fairfax HQ

Fairfax-based IT consulting firm Intact Technology will expand its headquarters, Gov. Ralph Northam announced Tuesday.

The expansion will create more than 40 jobs, and Intact will invest at least $700,000, the governor’s office said.

Virginia competed against Maryland for the project. In 2020, Intact relocated its headquarters from Greenbelt, Maryland, to Reston. The company was named to the Northern Virginia Technology Council’s Tech 100 list, which recognizes groundbreaking companies, leaders and innovators within the Greater Washington region’s tech community.

“Intact is breaking the IT consulting model with our focus on speed, simplicity, value and risk reduction through our IT operations software implementation and managed service offering,” Intact Technology President Jason Hampel said in a statement. “The demand for Intact’s game-changing approach from federal agencies and Fortune 1000 companies is driving tremendous growth. By residing in Virginia and Fairfax County, we are in the center of a progressive community full of other thought leaders to grow with and learn from.”

The Virginia Economic Development Partnership worked with the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority to secure the project for Virginia and will support Intact Technology’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.

“Virginia has the infrastructure and robust talent pipeline that IT firms like Intact Technology need to succeed,” Northam said in a statement. “The commonwealth has the highest concentration of tech workers in the nation. We are pushing new boundaries as an industry leader, thanks in large part to our innovative partners, including Intact Technology.”
