Market-leading applications and development capabilities, cybersecurity, advanced analytics, and machine learning enhance the Company’s competitive position, enable new solution offerings, and improve service delivery across our operations. The complimentary customer base of Maximus and Attain Federal offer meaningful opportunities for further expansion in the federal market.
Caswell continued, “We aim to deliver a unique citizen experience and use digital technologies and industry leading capabilities to deliver innovation to our federal customers and the citizens they serve. Attain Federal joining Maximus helps drive this aim forward even further.”
