(Salient), a leading provider of information technology; engineering and intelligence analytic services; to agencies in the intelligence, defense, homeland security, and cyber domains, announced Friday that it has completed its acquisition of ATS Corporation (ATSC), a leading information technology company delivering innovative technology solutions to government and commercial organizations.
With the completion of the acquisition, Salient announces the addition of a new company business unit, Civilian Mission Critical Solutions and the establishment of the Agile Software Center of Excellence as means of bringing the expertise it has developed in the defense, homeland, intelligence, and cyber domains to the Federal civilian market segment.

It also expands Salient's portfolio of tools and technologies with assets such as a Rational toolset, a financial services platform, and a solution for blue force tracking and personnel incident management.
