Since its inception, WingSwept has grown from one man's vision to a full-service team providing specialized services across the technology industry. WingSwept has developed strong and lasting relationships with many businesses and organizations for its customized, secure technology solutions.

WingSwept began in 1995 when company founder and President Jay Strickland built a small technology consulting business while attending North Carolina State University. He earned a B.S. in Computer Science from the University, and continues his partnership with the school to this day. After graduating NC State in December 1997, Jay began his service with the U.S. Air Force in February 1998. In May 2000, while still in the USAF, Jay established WingSwept as a corporation to formalize his consulting work with his commercial, education, and nonprofit clients. During his time with the Air Force, was involved with many national-level projects as he worked his way up to the rank of Captain.

With a growing list of clients and a team of consultants on board, Jay honorably separated from the Air Force in February 2002 to lead WingSwept full-time. One month later, Jay used his extensive military experience and reputation to begin work with the U.S. Intelligence Community on various projects dealing with national security issues. WingSwept continues to provide high-end technology consulting to military, government and prime contractor clientele on enterprise projects that include technologies such as portals, enterprise content management systems and data warehousing to name just a few.

The WingSwept family has continued to grow, adding new divisions and broadening the realm of services offered by the companies as the marketplace and staff size continues to expand. The staff includes specialists in such fields as enterprise architecture, security, Web application development, network support, graphic design, project management and sales to name just a few. Today, WingSwept's various divisions now serve approximately 2,000 clients.

With more than 15 years of technology experience, WingSwept's highly-skilled team employs best-practice techniques to address specific project requirements. The consultants' integrity is unparalleled, with many holding high level positions of trust with the U.S. government.
