  • 24/7 System Availability

Who We Serve

  • Agency CIO — Sitting on decades of legacy data trapped in mainframes. Can't leverage modern AI or analytics because data is fragmented and inaccessible.
  • Program Lead — Stuck doing manual COBOL maintenance and spreadsheet reconciliation. Takes weeks to aggregate data from ten different systems for leadership reports.
  • Digital Services Director — Wants to build modern citizen-facing apps but blocked by legacy APIs and a data layer that can't scale.
  • Chief Data Officer — Responsible for data strategy but struggling with siloed systems and lack of transparency for government accountability.

Core Data Modernization Capabilities

  • Legacy Migration — Mainframe-to-cloud refactoring, database schema modernization, automated code conversion, zero-downtime cutover plans.
  • Data Lake Architecture — FedRAMP compliant unified storage, schema-on-read capabilities, Big Data processing (Spark/Flink), integrated search and discovery.
  • Interoperability Frameworks — API-first design and management, data standardization (FHIR, NIEM), secure gateway implementation, event-driven architectures.
  • COBOL Modernization — AI-assisted extraction and documentation of legacy business rules, re-implementation in modern rules engines, agile policy updates.
  • Automated Data Pipelines — ETL automation, data quality monitoring, lineage tracking, governance enforcement across all data flows.
  • Real-Time Analytics — Modern BI and reporting replacing weeks-old batch reports with live operational dashboards.

Government Data Modernization Case Studies

  • SSA Legacy Core Migration — Critical benefits system running on a 40-year-old mainframe with skyrocketing maintenance costs. Architected phased migration to microservices-based cloud architecture using automated code conversion and data validation tools. Mainframe decommissioned with zero downtime.
  • OMB Cross-Department Data Lake — Three departments needed to share data for crisis response but blocked by incompatible formats. Built secure, FedRAMP-compliant data lake with automated ETL pipelines and granular access controls. Real-time inter-agency sharing activated.
  • IRS COBOL Replacement Strategy — Business rules hard-coded in legacy systems. Extracted and documented rules using AI, re-implemented in a modern low-code rules engine. Policy updates now take days instead of months.

Implementation Process

  1. Discovery & Assessment — Comprehensive audit of legacy systems, data flows, and dependencies.
  2. Migration Strategy — Risk-ranked phased plan for zero-downtime transition to modern architecture.
  3. Build & Validate — Parallel-run testing and automated data validation to ensure 100% fidelity.
  4. Cutover & Decommission — Seamless go-live and full legacy system retirement.
