Looking back and looking forward
MAAS Companies' strategic plan presents the company with new opportunities for challenging projects in the context of economic realities, emerging technologies, and long-term business cycles. With the perspective of its twenty-year history, the company can apply its long views to the fluctuations of the day in a measured, strategic fashion that maximizes the long-term outcomes for MAAS and its internal and external stakeholders.
The budgetary challenges experienced
by California community colleges continue unabated; technological advances
revolutionize adult learning; smart mobile devices make it possible to learn
anywhere, any time, Federal student loans enable masses of adults to seek
degrees from a growing myriad of educational institutions on-ground and
online, while accumulating personal debt they may not be able to pay off
until they reach their sixties.
As a progressive company, MAAS understands that business success in the
next decade requires a competent, professional team, focused on hard and
smart work, always seeking synergies across teams, projects, experiences,
partners, ad technologies. MAAS combines its focus on a strong legacy in
enterprise-level leadership services with a new focus on educational technology
and strategic educational consulting to deliver a unique combination of
innovative products and services.
What is most unique about MAAS is the matrix of its business and leadership
expertise, combined with its deep commitment to higher education, supported
by its focused expertise
in high-technology. The resulting unique capabilities apply to needs
across public and private educational institutions, but are also relevant
to progressive, strategically oriented corporations that seek to apply a
balanced, informed approach and long-term view to their opportunities and
challenges.
The core strengths of MAAS are the wide range of available best-practice
services and products, each of which has achieved excellence and a position
of distinction. As of 2011, Maas is a productive combination of two high-productivity
divisions (EISPRO and
Mgroup) that together
address the needs of their specific markets and clients through building
a Legacy of Innovation.
Another important strength for MAAS is that its destiny is guided by a carefully
thought-out strategic plan and mission. While many companies engage in strategic
planning, few take this responsibility as seriously as MAAS and its leadership
team. This deliberate approach anchors critical corporate decisions in a
longer-term, sustainable view, not buffeted by the economic news of the
day.

The Legacy Strategic Plan establishes an overarching vision:
generating growth, maximizing opportunity for our clients while

position as a leader in higher education program planning, development and
consulting, and its unique capacity to bridge the world of education and
learning with the knowledge and know-how of best practices in information
technology and business. The Legacy Plan is based on the following
core values:
