ECSI undergoes new growth phase!
ECSI worked closely with MediaWorks LLC, a media development agency, to create a new and unique marketing package. The first step was the creation of a new logo.  From there, new business cards and letterhead were developed.  The final step in the process is the creation of a new and dynamic website that will incorporate the logo and design features.  Says Mr. Pope, President & CEO, "I wanted a look that would make a statement.  ECSI is a dynamic company that is continually moving forward in the e-commerce arena. The new logo and unique, rounded shape of the business cards and letterhead shows that ECSI is at the cutting edge".

In September 2000 ECSI relocated to new and larger offices in Chantilly, VA.  ECSI's continued growth dictated the need for more office space and prompted the relocation.  ECSI's new headquarters at 43069 Eustis Street, Suite 300 provide the additional office space required.
