About Us
Whether we are supporting HIV/AIDS clinical trials around the world, providing program monitoring and evaluation services in Africa, collecting epidemiologic data in Europe, coordinating AIDS conferences in the Caribbean and Africa, or analyzing Medicare data in the United States, SSS consistently provides the highest quality support available. We are committed to conducting ourselves ethically, honoring our commitments, acting proactively and responsively, and delivering excellent services—on time and at good value.
We have developed long-term relationships with a variety of clients, largely in the public health sector. These clients include the National Institutes of Health, the U.S. Agency for International Development, the Food and Drug Administration, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
SSS was founded by Herbert J. Miller, Denis Ables, and Mary Frances leMat, and the company was a proud participant and graduate of the Small Business Administration's 8(a) program (1979–88). Today, SSS has approximately 500 staff members, with offices in Silver Spring, MD; Durham, NC; Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire; Kampala, Uganda; and Kigali, Rwanda.

Central to SSS' vision and values is a corporate culture that finds and keeps exceptional employee-owners. SSS cares about and respects all staff, provides opportunity for growth, and encourages people to enjoy their jobs and have fun. All of our employee-owners are committed to providing outstanding client service. We conduct ourselves ethically, honor our commitments, are proactive and responsive, and deliver excellent service—on time and at good value.
Treating our employee-owners and clients well—along with managing our business well—enables profitability and viability over the long term. Moreover, a financially stable firm allows us to give back to the community. SSS is a company with a heart and contributes to the economic and social health of our region and its residents.
