Five services, one engineering standard

SQL Server

Performance engineering, DBA administration, security and penetration testing, HA/DR to real RTO/RPO objectives, builds, upgrades, and migration.

ETL Modernization

Complex new development, rebuilds, upgrades, documentation, and modernization — pipelines that deliver correct data on time, every time.

EDI/X12 Integration

Healthcare (834, 835, 837, 999, 277, 278, 270) plus supply chain, transportation, and finance (850, 810) — enterprise-reliable, in your environment, at a fraction of platform cost.

AI Engineering

AI-in-the-loop automation, API integration, and custom development — plus governed data cleansing with human accountability.

Cloud Migration

Assess, migrate, and validate SQL Server and data workloads with certified expertise and controlled, low-surprise cutovers.

Proof points

Forged in the hardest data environment there is

Healthcare data is unforgiving: protected information, federal and state regulators, trading partners, and downstream teams that cannot wait. That is where our engineering standard was set. A platform that must satisfy HIPAA scrutiny, auditors, and 4 AM delivery deadlines has no room for shortcuts — and that same discipline is what we bring to every industry we serve.

Who we work with

Built for organizations that run on data

If your organization depends on SQL Server, complex integrations, or regulated reporting, this is the work we do every day.

  • Insurance & financial services — policy, claims, and transaction platforms where accuracy is audited
  • Logistics & supply chain — high-volume operational data that has to move on schedule
  • Public sector & regulated enterprises — compliance-heavy reporting and data stewardship
  • SaaS & data-intensive companies — growing SQL Server estates that need senior hands
  • Healthcare payers & providers — our specialized practice Healthcare & Regulated Data

Healthcare is our primary focus. Our consultants have also delivered data work in clearinghouse operations, transportation and freight, accounting, and import and export.

Engagement model

How engagements work

  1. 01

    Assess

  2. 02

    Fix

  3. 03

    Modernize

  4. 04

    Operate

We start with a fixed-scope assessment, remediate on fixed-price terms, run migrations and modernizations as 3–6 month projects, and stay on where clients want long-term managed services. We implement the work ourselves — we don't leave you with a slide deck.
