“The specialized program management methodology Plexos employed allowed the organization to distribute over $1.6 billion within the first six months, realize administrative budget savings of more than $100 million per year, and drive a 250% increase in claims throughput. All of this was accomplished while maintaining claims award accuracies of more than 99% in one of the largest and most complex class-action settlements in U.S. history. It is without a doubt that the program’s success is largely attributed to their leadership, dedication, professionalism, and experiece with large claims programs.”— Robert Levine, CFO | Deepwater Horizon Economic Claims Program

Plexos put together a team that assisted the citizens with overwhelming success. Their program knowledge was beneficial to the citizens and elected officials.”—The Office of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham | State of South Carolina
