Success Stories

Maricopa County, AZ 

Project

Maricopa County, Arizona, the nation’s 4th largest county, encompassing 27 cities and towns, including Phoenix and Tempe; has seen extraordinary growth in recent years, claiming to be the “fastest growing county by numeric growth” for most of the last decade. With such staggering growth, their Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) has become a daunting list of multi-million-dollar projects.

The Challenge

Maricopa County faced the challenge of managing a massive portfolio of infrastructure projects, with its Capital Improvement Plan ballooning to $456 million in 2023. With rapid urbanization and a growing population, the county needed a centralized, efficient, and customized project management system to handle the complex scheduling, budgeting, and quality control required to keep everything on track. Additionally, they needed a system that could seamlessly integrate with their existing in-house Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS).

Solution

In 2023, Maricopa County awarded ATSER® the contract to deploy our  Manage-IT™ ”Program Management System” to manage the $456 million Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
