Who We are and What We Do
MacroSys is a minority-owned, 8(a)-certified small business.
Since its inception in 1997, MacroSys has transformed from a two-person team to a group of over 50 professionals,
many of whom hold an advanced degree in economics, statistics, public administration, geography, public planning,
computer science, engineering, or technical communication. Over the years, MacroSys has served a wide variety
of government and private agencies, providing services in three broad but interrelated areas: research and
analysis, information technology, and professional publication production services.
Key MacroSys Strengths
Integrated companywide capabilities
People-focused customer service
MacroSys professionals work together on many phases
and technical areas of particular projects in transportation, economics, education, public policy, and allied
fields. As a result the company offers its clients a broad
base of collective knowledge as well as the individual
experiences of its team members. Along with ensuring
that specific task goals are met, we work closely with
our customers over the life of our contracts to instill a
comprehensive knowledge of client programs in all our
team members.
We know that communication and a deep understanding of the needs of our clients are essential to performing the work that will thrill them. To achieve this takes
a commitment to the people behind the agencies, with
whom we work side by side on many endeavors. We
will earn your esteem with our consistent and attentive
service.
