“Frederick is a vibrant arts and cultural center, as well as the home of many information technology companies. We felt it was a great fit for providing quality of life for our employees, as well as attracting highly qualified IT professionals,” said Rick Rogers, the founder and president of Fenestra Technologies.

Fenestra invents creative IT solutions to complex business problems. They have been a prime contractor to the United States Census Bureau, and a subcontractor to Lockheed Martin and IBM on programs for the Census Bureau and the National Archives and Records Administration.

In recognition of its excellence as a government subcontractor, the U.S. Small Business Administration awarded Fenestra a 2010 “Administrator’s Award for Excellence.” The award noted that it was presented “In recognition of outstanding contribution and service to the nation by a small business in satisfying the needs of the Federal procurement system.”

“Fenestra has a small but expert team of seasoned professionals. Being small helps us stay agile and inventive, so we can quickly test and discard a number of solutions until we find the right one for our clients’ needs,” explained Rogers. Fenestra currently has eight employees; some at the Frederick office and some embedded with clients’ offices. “We’re looking forward to adding more professionals from the Frederick area,” noted Rogers.
