What MCM Consulting Group Inc does

MCM Consulting Group, Inc. is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, with a secondary office in Akron, Ohio. Founded in 2000 (marking its 25th anniversary in 2025) by Michael McGrady, the firm is dedicated to serving the public safety, government, and healthcare communities, and is structured around five vertical consulting practices — Broadband, 911 (including Next Generation 911), Emergency Management Agency (EMA), GIS, and EMS/Healthcare — delivered through three core capabilities: Needs Assessment and Strategic Planning, Project Management, and Training and Exercises.

The firm's underlying technology stack centers on public safety communications engineering rather than software product development. Core technical competencies include NG911/ESInet design and deployment, P25-compliant radio system engineering, GIS planning and hazard analysis, telephony and tower site specialization, RF engineering, and HSEEP-compliant exercise design. MCM has completed what it describes as the largest NG911 and ESInet project in the United States at the time of execution, and supports counties through needs assessments, vendor evaluations, and full lifecycle project management — most recently as the lead advisor for the Summit County, Ohio consolidated CAD procurement across six PSAPs handling approximately 665,000 service calls annually.

MCM operates an enterprise field sales and consulting delivery model, securing project-based engagements through government RFPs and direct procurement relationships with county and municipal clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, but engagements range from small needs assessments (e.g., a $72,000 radio assessment) to multi-year program management on multi-million-dollar deployments (e.g., Erie County's $26.4M radio program). The customer base spans county governments, 911 centers, emergency management agencies, and healthcare systems across at least 11 states, with a stated customer repeat rate exceeding 99%. Distribution is anchored by deep membership in industry associations (APCO, NENA, KEMA) and partnerships with public safety software vendors such as Tyler Technologies.
