SUCCESS STORIES
FOREST SERVICE- INCIDENT BUSINESS SYSTEM
The Story
Risen One Consulting was at the forefront of one the most impactful application migrations, the Incident Business System which supports the Forest Service and USDA with electronically documenting contracted processes and aviation costs. ROC strategically created a migration plan, designed a modern architecture, and established cloud-native services; then executed to move all data and system resources to the Fed-Ramp Azure Government Cloud Platform. Production was not impacted as parallel environments were built to gracefully move full operations to the newly built cloud platform. The project start to finish was completed in a matter of a few months’ time.
FOREST SERVICE- CHERNOBYL EXCLUSION ZONE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
The Story
​The Risen One Cloud Foundation team seized the chance to create an infrastructure architecture and process with far-reaching effects on OCONUS (Outside the Continental United States). This initiative was a collaborative effort with the Forest Service Research & Development, aimed at supporting efforts in the Ukraine–Chernobyl exclusion zone. Their work resulted in a robust technology solution that provides access to a comprehensive dataset of weather and fire-related information. This solution leverages DevOps practices, the AWS Cloud, and Geospatial services.
