Happy Customers

“When the COVID-19 stay-at-home order started, Econometrica raised a very important question regarding the physical data shipments to states. By quickly identifying this issue and moving to resolve any disconnects, the contractor not only provided excellent customer service to states but protected CMS data with protected health information/potentially identifiable information.”
