The firm specializes in integrated security platforms for critical infrastructure and campus environments.[1] SDI is a privately held company headquartered in Chicago, Illinois.[2]

History

David A. Gupta[3] founded the company in Chicago as an information services division of Environmental Systems Design, Inc. in 1989.[4] In 1996, the division emerged from the parent company as System Development.Integration, LLC.[5]

Present

In April 2014, David Sullivan[6] was appointed CEO and Brian Diver[7] was appointed as President and COO of SDI,[8] which in 2012 secured significant investments by private equity firms, LLR Partners[9] and Monument Capital Group.[10][11] Founder David A. Gupta[12], SDI’s previous CEO, will continue with the company as Vice Chairman of its Board of Directors.

On June 18, 2013, SDI acquired i-sys Corporation[13] in order to expand its business into the private sector.[14][15] Soon after SDI made its second acquisition in August 2013 when it purchased X7, a Washington, D.C.-based integration company.[16]
