HHS modernization
Benefits platforms
Curam/Merative
Most consultancies treat state and federal IT engagements as a way to bill hours.
We treat them as programmes — long-running, accountable to citizens, accountable to legislative cycles. The difference shows up in continuity (we send the same senior to the same programme for years, not a rotating cast), in domain depth (we know what passes at a Curam steering committee because we’ve sat in dozens), and in delivery posture (we take fixed-fee scope with milestone payments, not open-ended T&M).
