Our Story

Our team is based out of Annapolis, MD with locations at Ft. Meade, Orlando FL, San Antonio TX and Salt Lake City UT. Our business is continually growing, along with our staff, who are some of the most experienced Commissioning Agents, Engineers and Technicians within the industry.
Our Philosophy is: If you don't test it, you don't know.
This philosophy is the core to our approach in all we do. To validate normal/emergency operation, redundancy, concurrent maintenance or fault tolerance and ensuring the Owners Project Requirements are met, the only way to accomplish that is to test the facility. Sounds simple. Its not. Each project presents its own unique requirements to achieve the end result: Uptime.
Experience tells us the more time invested in design, planning and testing, the greater the return and benefit over the time of facility operation. Commissioning is not just a process; Successfully employed, it establishes the very core (foundation?) to your belief in your facilities ability to successfully operate day to day and continue to support business operations when the next event occurs to test your systems resiliency. Commissioning is the baseline/foundation of which facility confidence is built.
MEET THE TEAM
Scott Hoover, Owner
Scott Hoover began his construction career 35 years ago, with his first data center project completed for MCI in 1987. In 1993 Scott formed a company called Advanced Technical Solutions (ATS). ATS grew from a small start-up services firm to a premier data center solutions firm serving customers throughout the United States. ATS developed a partnership with IBM and collaborated on a number of projects with IBM technology infrastructure units. In 2007 Scott sold portions of ATS to a national technology infrastructure company looking to acquire key components of ATS business lines. This enabled Scott to focus on building DCS which he had started a year before. Scott is a graduate of Penn State University with a degree in Architectural Engineering.
