With annual revenues of $1.6 billion, SAIC has almost 4,000 employees in San Diego, and about 16,000 employees at more than 250 locations worldwide. SAIC offers broad expertise in technology development and analysis, computer system development and integration, technical support services, and computer hardware and software products. SAIC scientists and engineers work to solve complex technical problems in business areas that include environment, energy, health, transportation and space. Since the beginning, SAIC has been committed to making significant contributions to nationally important programs. Over the past two decades, SAIC technical staff have contributed to clean-up efforts at Three Mile Island and Prince William Sound, to the success of Operation Desert Storm, and to space missions ranging from Voyager to the shuttle flights. The company is helping develop new technology to clean up hazardous waste at Superfund sites, while other scientists are studying global climate and oceanographic changes. In another critical area, SAIC is increasing the quality of patient care while lowering costs by developing an automated patient record system for Department of Defense medical facilities. Today, SAIC generates about 90 percent of its business through federal government contracts, half of which are in the national security area. The company has been transitioning its extensive experience in advanced defense systems and software engineering to benefit civilian programs. For example, SAIC networking capability helps dozens of government agencies share information to fight drug smuggling, and integrates technology that has put a pollution-free bus on the road. Bob Beyster, SAIC's founder and chief executive officer, credits the success of the company to its employee ownership. "The hallmark of SAIC through the years has been the principle that those who contribute to the company should own it, with that ownership proportional to their contribution and performance as much as possible," Beyster says, "SAIC was designed for professional people who want to do superior scientific and technical work, who want to have a stake and a voice in the company's development and direction, and who expect fair rewards for doing excellent work." _________________________________________________________________ Copyright SAIC Home _________________________________________________________________ Last updated on 07-05-95 ---------- URL: http://www.itps.saic.com/websites.htm Other SAIC Web Sites: _________________________________________________________________ Foundation for Enterprise Development SAIC Advanced Technology and Analysis Sector SAIC Aeronautical Systems Operation SAIC Applied Physics Operation SAIC ASDI (SEE Program) SAIC Asset C3I Group SAIC Hampton's Information System SAIC HTTP Server Site SAIC Idaho Falls ID SAIC Ideas Group SAIC Information and Simulation Sciences SAIC Information Technology Group SAIC Information Technology Lab SAIC JSTARS MOT&E Office SAIC @ Langley Research Center SAIC Los Altos SAIC Medical Imaging SAIC @ New Mexico SAIC Open Systems Lab SAIC Security Web Site SAIC Space Sciences SAIC Sterling Heights, Michigan SAIC System Development Operation Center SAIC Systems Engineering SAIC Technology Solution Sector SAIC Telecommunications Information Engineering Organization SAIC Test and Evaluation Group SAICnet Gopher _________________________________________________________________ SAIC-Hosted/Created Sites: Smart Site City of Ridgecrest Homepage
