5 Digital Solutions Hubs
At the heart of the Digital Solutions Network are five physical Booz Allen facilities—the firm’s Digital Solutions Hubs. These hubs provide an energized and supportive working environment where cleared professionals can collaborate, working side by side to develop digital solutions right at the center of their clients’ most important missions.
A Strong Sense of Community
Located across the country, the hubs strengthen the sense of community among the firm’s 5,000 digital professionals. With a startup vibe, the dynamic environment encourages entrepreneurship and inspiration.
In these forward-leaning, open-plan facilities, integrated teams of technologists, strategists, engineers, and innovators have the freedom to think creatively, collaborate, design, build, and implement powerful software solutions for both local and geographically dispersed clients. The hubs also help staff create connections regardless of where they sit.
