Sterling is a leading Global Solutions Integrator with over three decades of proven performance providing world-class technology outcomes to a wide range of clients: from the most secure, complex inner workings within the U.S., U.K., and Canadian governments to the fast-paced, business-critical technology environments of small-, medium-, and large-scale commercial enterprises.
We are not a run-of-the-mill sales machine or simple provider of products; we are a true differentiator, a guiding light in the increasingly complex world of IT. As such, we’re proactive and resourceful; we go the extra mile, where others might just be content to coast. Which is why we’ve built trust with countless organizations through the years, and we strive to continue that legacy of support and dependability with every newfound partnership that comes our way.
In the end, we’re the ones who clients turn to when they need help, or are in search of an expert, or when they haven’t gotten the results their mission requires.
In the end, we’re the ones who deliver.
Ethical. Consistent. Transparent. Predictable. These four principles are the central thesis of who we are as a company and the foundation of what’s known as “The Sterling Way.” More than a catchy slogan or some feel-good internal mantra, it’s a culture of excellence and character with which we approach every facet of our business. At its core, it’s about serving others—and serving them well, with professionalism, dedication, enthusiasm, and respect. It’s about delighting our customers with an exceptional, world-class technology experience, every single time.
Do the right thing—always.
Whatever the situation, we lead with integrity and hold ourselves to the highest ethical standard. We’re called to treat others with kindness and compassion; to conduct ourselves with character and with class; and to champion the tenets of humility, fairness, and respect.
Pursue excellence—daily.
We’re committed to showing up focused, determined, and eager to achieve our established goals. To that end, our efforts are purposeful and diligent, and we continuously strive to better ourselves and to push toward excellence.
Communicate with purpose and clarity—constantly.
Even if the news is unwelcome or the topic uncomfortable, we engage openly and honestly with clients, partners, and each other. For us, communication is not a nicety but a responsibility, and we consider it central to our success.
Do what you say—and do it right.
We aim to be a steady, reliable fixture within our communities and within the industry. By under-promising and over-delivering, we offer a seamless, pain-free procurement experience anchored by accurate, timely, and innovative solutions. Whether big or small, complex or simple, we endeavor to provide value in every engagement.
Sterling is proud to hold ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certifications, reflecting our commitment to quality, sustainability, and information security. The ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications showcase our dedication to superior quality management and environmental responsibility, ensuring that our products and services meet the highest standards of performance and sustainability.
The addition of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 underscores our leadership in cybersecurity and data protection. This certification validates our robust Information Security Management System (ISMS), which secures critical processes such as IT sales, solution engineering, and professional services delivery.
Sterling’s emphasis on cybersecurity continues through our Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification with a status of Final CMMC Level 2 (C3PAO). This certifies that Sterling’s security conforms to the requirements of the NIST Special Publication 800-171 Revision 2 for the information system as scoped for the L200001786 CMMC Unique Identifier (UID). It also ensures that we operate in accordance with CMMC requirements codified in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 32, Part 170.
Our strength lies in our collective experience and expertise, embodied in our leadership team. They set the course, champion our core values, and continually drive us to the forefront of the IT industry. Every decision they make is shaped by our commitment to being ethical, consistent, transparent, and predictable. This group leads Sterling with passion, innovation, and unyielding dedication to excellence.
With Sterling, you’re partnering with a recognized leader, an innovator, and a transformational trailblazer.
