What this practice delivers.

Modernization lanes covering the platform, the pipeline, and the people who'll run it.

IT infrastructure

Landing zones, hybrid networks, and platform reference designs.

Software & applications

Containerization, microservices, and API gateways that scale.

DevOps & DevSecOps

Policy as code, SBOMs, and signed pipelines end to end.

Enterprise risk

Continuous ATO posture and drift aware controls.

Data & analytics

Warehouses, lakes, and streaming on governed data products.

Information services

Interoperability, master data, and records modernization.

Big data operations

Throughput tuning and cost telemetry for petabyte workloads.

Service desk

SLA graded support integrated with the platform.

Network engineering

Zero trust segmentation, identity, and encrypted transit.

Training

Operator upskilling, run books, and game day rehearsals.

09How it runs

How a modernization

Six sequenced steps with reversible milestones along the way.

  1. Step 01

    Discovery + ATO review

    Architecture review, dependency map, ATO inheritance audit prevents replatform by faith.

  2. Step 02

    Target state design

    Reference architecture, landing zone strategy, security overlays defensible to customer + CISO.

  3. Step 03

    Strangler pilot

    Pilot cutover on a contained workload with reversible milestones. Burn down risk before scale.

  4. Step 04

    Wider migration

    Sequenced cutovers, traffic splits, observability instrumentation, parallel run safety nets.

  5. Step 05

    Continuous ATO

    Policy as code, OSCAL evidence on every merge, continuous assessment posture.

  6. Step 06

    Platform handoff

    Internal developer platform, golden paths documented, on call playbook live.

10Common questions

About BI

Q.01Will modernization break our ATO?+

Done right, modernization tightens the ATO posture. We migrate under continuous ATO with policy as code so authorization travels with the system.

Q.02Can you handle mainframe / COBOL escape?+

Yes. Strangler fig migrations with reversible cutovers. We extract business rules into specification, not throw them away in translation.

Q.03Do you work with our incumbent integrator?+

Routinely. We are comfortable in joint program offices, with defined work shares and shared CI/CD pipelines.

Q.04How long is a typical engagement?+

First production cutover is usually 90 180 days; full estate migrations run 12 24 months with reversible milestones.

11Related pillars

How this practice plugs in.

The pillars this service usually sits next to on a federal program.

02

Modernize

Cloud native transformation, agentic engineering, and platform discipline engineered to compress timelines without losing the audit trail.

03

Cyber Dominance

Securing federal networks against advanced persistent threats with secure by design architectures backed by CMMC Level 2 and a cleared 24/7 SOC.
