The RKV acquisition enhances MCP’s commitment to supporting public-sector clients with a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and vendor-independent services, with professional advisory and managed services including, but not limited to, data integration, network management, and cybersecurity.
Founded in 2008 with an office in Missouri’s state capital of Jefferson City, RKV serves state and local government agencies with staff augmentation, project management, database solutions, and information technology (IT) consulting services. The firm specializes in helping clients build and implement software solutions and integrate commercial off-the-shelf solutions.

Since its founding, RKV has completed more than 1,000 projects nationwide, which have supported the
transportation, social services, environmental, education, labor, and public safety sectors. The firm builds and delivers integrated systems and designs and integrates off-the-shelf solutions into client environments. Aligned with MCP’s lifecycle management services business, the acquisition enhances MCP’s ability to integrate and support complex systems, processes, and data to integrate workflows that break down siloes.
“With MCP’s reach of serving clients in nearly every large metropolitan area in the United States, RKV will
accelerate our goal of helping our clients leverage digital technology to advance their missions,” said Bob Myers, RKV Technologies president and CEO. “Through our shared vision, experience, and highly specialized experts, we can help government agencies innovate to stay ahead of the expectations of the communities that they serve.
