Our story
Founded in 2000, xFact began with a vision to support the public sector through thoughtful, purpose-built technology. From the start, our work focused on helping government and mission-driven organizations navigate complexity, modernize systems, and better serve their communities.
As xFact grew, so did the scope of the challenges our clients faced. Joining forces with DataServ marked a natural next chapter in our story—expanding our capabilities, deepening our expertise, and strengthening our ability to support organizations across technology, cybersecurity, and operational needs. Together, we bring a broader set of resources and perspectives while maintaining the same commitment to public service that has guided xFact from the beginning.
Today, we remain driven by a shared mission: to empower organizations with solutions aligned to their unique business and technology needs. We believe in a future where technology integrates seamlessly into public services—improving reliability, accessibility, and outcomes for the communities our clients serve.
