Sycamore.US began as Sycamore Associates in 1996, founded by Kurt Heckman, Jim Lockwood and Chris Diffenderfer. Sycamore started as a software engineering services company building software for the aerospace community.
Heckman and Lockwood ran the Engineering Services part of Sycamore and Diffenderfer ran a multimedia group (Buttonwood Media). Sycamore also briefly owned a web hosting business Buttonwood iNet.
In the early 2000s, Sycamore had two major events: they began to do work in cyber-security and telecommunications infrastructure and they became one of the nation's first HUBZone companies. At about that time, Sycamore hired Hal Ammann who grew and ran the telecommunications infrastructure business and became President of Sycamore Services, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sycamore.US (renamed)
By the time of their acquisition by KEYW (NASD:KEYW) in 2010, Sycamore.US (and Sycamore Services) had numerous prime and sub contracts with several government agencies, aerospace firms and large mortgage banks. They also had over 150 employees.
Sycamore was known through its employees as the company that took all of its employees on a Disney Cruise (twice).
