Our AI-powered decision support technology will offer tremendous advantages to ProModel's customers. We're excited to welcome them and all ProModel employees and partners into the BigBear.ai community."

"We've had an incredibly strong relationship with BigBear.ai since its acquisition of ProModel's Government Services business two years ago," said Keith Vadas, President and CEO of ProModel Corporation. "The synergies between our technology and vertical market focus made joining forces the right move and gives us additional resources to deliver scalable, trusted AI technology and expertise to significantly increase value to our customers."
