The implementation for the new child support system for the State of Maine, CSEME, started in 2009 using a phased approach by planning and programming it in functional increments (i.e. Financials, Case Initiation, Case Review, etc.). In 2010, the State and Primary vendor, Protech Solutions (Courtland Consulting Partner), were in need of someone to take over project management of this effort and they knew from Courtland’s prior partnerships in Michigan and New Jersey that we would be a perfect fit. Courtland provided a project manager with experience in the child support field, strong implementation management, assertive project planning, and a strong ability to establish and maintain rapport between the vendor and Maine State departments. As such, Courtland Consulting was able to immediately establish a great rapport with the vendor and State staff in all departments.

If you don’t have a logo, then you should request a logo design along with your website design when you hire a web design company. If you do have a logo, since you are designing a brand new website, does your logo need freshening up?
