Trusted consulting solutions for public sector retirement systems and programs
Undertaking a large IT initiative, such as modernizing a state public retirement system, is a massive project that requires careful planning and meticulous attention to detail every step of the way. With Maximus as your partner, you’ll benefit from a broad array of consulting services to support your efforts to implement high-quality automated systems, improve service delivery and business operations, and comply with state and federal requirements.

Proven planning and procurement support
Our team of experienced consultants has an outstanding reputation with a successful performance track record of justifying investments in technology projects and selecting implementation vendors. Our planning services focus on producing feasibility studies, alternatives analyses, cost/benefit analyses, requirements analyses, specification definitions, project budgets, and cost allocation plans as part of creating Advance Planning Documents (APD) and related project investment studies.
The ultimate goal of our procurement services is to create a fair procurement that results in the best solution for your implementation effort.


We have more than 20 years of experience performing feasibility studies, procurement support, project management, quality assurance (QA) and independent verification and validation (IV&V) on large, complex systems in nearly every state in the nation.
Superior oversight and risk strategies
Our project oversight and risk management services are designed to ensure that project activities are managed, controlled, coordinated, supervised, and focused on the goals and objectives of the project. It is critical to the success of any project that status, risks, issues, and concerns be continually addressed. Our staff apply structured, standards-based approaches to the analysis, review, demonstration, and testing of critical system-development processes and products. Our project management oversight and risk management services include:
- Project management oversight. We help ensure that project activities occur as scheduled, risks are averted or managed to reduce their impact, and accountability at all levels is enforced.
- Quality assurance. Our staff focuses on life-cycle development and test processes so that defects are identified earlier in the process when remediation is more cost-effective.
- Independent verification and validation. These services verify that the system being developed meets the client’s needs.

Program modernization
Maximus has provided information technology assessment, planning, QA/IV&V, Project Management Office (PMO), and solicitation assistance on more than 100 projects in nearly every state in the nation. Our team provides world class QA/IV&V services designed specifically for your project to proactively mitigate risks, verify quality and completeness, and significantly contribute to a successful system modernization effort. Just as importantly, we provide the benefits of lessons learned from numerous projects; for more than 30 years, we have provided these services for some of the largest program and system modernization projects in the nation.
Our approach to QA/IV&V is focused on risk mitigation and quality service delivery. We employ a consistent and disciplined methodology that emphasizes independence, objectivity. Each and every project we undertake receives the same dedication to excellence and meticulous attention to detail.
