GEOINT 2025 | TekSynap - Mike DeLaFleur

Mike DeLaFleur from TekSynap, with over 34 years in the community, discusses his role in BD, capture, and geospatial solutions. He introduces TekSynap as a mid-size government contractor providing IT services and solutions for the DoD, Fed Civ, and IC, which has grown organically since 2008. TekSynap works with various agencies and is expanding into the geospatial world with R&D investments in AI and analyst tools. DeLaFleur highlights TekSynap's distinction as one of the few companies globally with CMMI Level 5 in Services, Development, and Security. He shares recent examples of applying AI in IT networking (Marvis AI) and document management (Megatron). Their core geospatial offering for the IC is ARTA (AI recommendation-driven analytics). TekSynap recently contributed to a project at NGA focusing on disaster response using UI/UX, data fabric, and integrating the unclassified data lake. DeLaFleur reflects on his extensive experience attending GEOINT symposiums and praises TekSynap's culture as an employee-first company.
