MPSI is an industry leader specializing in business and technical solutions including staff augmentation; systems, software, and process engineering; process improvement; and training.

With decades of system development experience encompassing a broad spectrum of applications, MPSI developed a proprietary approach to process improvement which is a uniquely successful approach. Our Systems Approach to Process Improvement (SAPI) integrates people, processes, and technology to develop an organization’s information infrastructure and improve its productivity, profitability, cycle time, and quality. SAPI has proven effective in today's budget-constrained, fast time-to-market world of information technology. This proprietary approach is compatible with the SEI Capability Maturity Models, IPIL, and ISO standards. MPSI uses SAPI in many engagements with clients.

Our staff of professionals knows how to build partnerships that support your business objectives. We use a collaborative approach, helping you determine your specific needs through assessments, and requirements elicitation techniques. We tailor our products and services to fit those requirements. A product is only as good as the process used to build it, and we continuously strive to improve our processes, as well as yours.
