We understand the challenges that Federal Agencies face and provide comprehensive support to facilitate executive programs including strategic planning and management; policy development; training and technical assistance; and conference/meeting planning. We work closely with our customers to understand their needs, goals, and complexities characterizing their organizations; we then apply this knowledge to develop and implement relevant and effective solutions.

KBS provides support in the handling of official record material, including sensitive and classified information. We specialize in the assessment, physical management, organization, preservation and movement of records.  We ensure access to record material, including emails, Federal data systems, and Government social media records; according to clearance and ‘need-to-know’, and Federal disposition schedules.
