What KM Systems Group does

KM Systems Group (KMSG) is a privately held, woman-owned strategy and technology consulting firm headquartered at 2011 Crystal Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Virginia. Founded by Kevin L. Martin in 2002/2003 and operating continuously for over two decades, the firm specializes in Earned Value Management (EVM) — a project performance methodology that integrates scope, schedule, and cost metrics to provide objective measurement against federal compliance standards such as ANSI/EIA-748, OMB, and FAR/DFAR. Its customer base comprises U.S. Federal Agencies, Department of Defense programs, government contractors required to operate certified EVMS, and a secondary set of Fortune 500 commercial organizations. The firm is led by a small senior team (President Kevin Martin, Vice President Matt Schneble, Comptroller Lorraine Altmore) and positions itself as a boutique consultancy built on nationally recognized principals rather than on a software franchise.

The firm's product portfolio is organized around four consulting pillars plus a managed-service offering. Core services include EVMS Design & Implementation (current-state assessment through integration with legacy financial and cost systems), EVMS Assessment & Validation (Progress Assistance Visits, Independent Validation Reviews, certification, surveillance, and Integrated Baseline Review support), Organizational Performance Improvement (strategic planning, business process management, Lean-based process design), and Project Portfolio Management / PMO Support (CPIC, OMB Exhibit 300/53 reporting, business case development, P3M). The productized layer is EVMS as a Service (EVMSaaS), a tiered outsourced EVM compliance offering that bundles commercial-off-the-shelf software, KMSG architecture, and monthly performance reporting for organizations lacking internal capacity. KMSG is a designated Deltek Services Partner with resale and implementation rights for the Deltek Integrated Program Management suite (Open Plan, Cobra, MPM, wInsight, PM Compass), and a reciprocal partner with ARES Project Management for the PRISM cost-management solution. Revenue-generating streams are professional services fees (engagements, training) and software resale/royalties from Deltek.

KMSG operates with 11–50 employees and generates revenue primarily through project-based consulting engagements with federal buyers, supplemented by training programs and Deltek channel activity. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal program offices and large commercial capital-project sponsors, with marketing primarily through PMI EVM Community of Practice faculty roles, ACT-IAC membership, and principal-led speaking engagements rather than broad digital campaigns. The firm has not disclosed revenue, has no recorded funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no parent company or external investors, indicating founder-controlled independent operations since inception.
