Description: Anteon is an information technology company that provides services to U.S. government agencies, including the Defense Department, and to international clients.

Developments: Anteon continued to focus on the Pentagon last year and made two acquisitions to help increase its market share. It ranked 38th among the Pentagon's largest contractors last year, up from 49th in 2003. The company bought computer networks firm Integrated Management Services for $29 million and Simulation Technologies Inc., a simulation software company, for $15 million. The Simulation Technologies deal added to Anteon's presence in the growing market for military war games and training software. With the recent addition of a $345 million Army training contract, about a quarter of the company's employees are expected to be dedicated to the simulation and training market, company officials said. Two military Web sites run by Anteon came under scrutiny last year. The sites, which are aimed at audiences in the Balkans and North Africa, included articles from journalists paid by the Pentagon through the company, as well as articles translated from American newspapers. The Pentagon asked for a review of the arrangement in the wake of criticism of an Education Department deal to pay a news commentator, Armstrong Williams, to promote the administration's policies. The Web sites, known as the Southeast European Times and Magharebia, were under review by the Pentagon's inspector general. The company expects revenue of $1.44 billion to $1.47 billion this year, compared with $1.27 billion last year.
