History

Established in 1969 in Santa Monica, California, Telos officially incorporated in Maryland two years later, in 1971.

In 1984, the company introduced FileVision for the Apple Macintosh platform, a product that received an honorable mention from InfoWorld magazine in its Product of the Year awards for database software.

John B. Wood became part of Telos in 1992 and assumed the roles of president and CEO by 1994. The corporation’s main office is now located in Ashburn, Virginia.

By the year 1996, Telos had achieved revenues totaling $200 million.

On June 16, 2020, Telos was awarded a contract extension worth $15.6 million over five years to continue supporting its Automated Message Handling System (AMHS) for the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA).

Retired General Keith B. Alexander was named as the first chairperson of Telos’ advisory board on May 20, 2020.

In November 2020, Telos submitted paperwork for an initial public offering, setting the company’s valuation slightly above $1 billion.
