Data Platform, Cloud and AI Engineering

You cannot ship AI you cannot prove

Most AI initiatives stall on the same thing, and it is never the model. Nobody can prove where the data came from, what happened to it, or why the output should be trusted. Fortis engineers the layer underneath.

Fortis does not deliver cookie-cutter solutions. Every program carries its own constraints, its own compliance posture, and its own definition of success, whether that is a federal mission or a commercial SLA. We work the problem from discovery through delivery, and accountability does not change hands along the way.

How we create value

◇

Data Platform Engineering

Relational, NoSQL, caching, and analytics platforms chosen by access pattern, not habit. Legacy database migration and the platform layer that makes data usable and durable.

▣

Cloud Modernization

Migrating workloads into AWS and AWS GovCloud as the primary target, with Azure Government, OCI and GCP supported where the estate requires it, including the landing zone, automation, and hardening that mission-critical programs live and die by.

◈

AI & GenAI Data Engineering

Retrieval-augmented generation over private datasets, document intelligence, and the data pipelines behind them, built on the same patterns as active federal programs.

⬡

Distributed Systems

Replication and event-driven architecture for distributed systems that must hold integrity through extended network outages, including edge environments with intermittent connectivity.

How We Work

Built for speed and precision

Define the problem

Every engagement starts with the real constraint: the access pattern, the compliance boundary, the mission outcome, not a generic template.

Architect the solution

The right store and the right pattern for the workload, designed to fit the program rather than the tool we happen to know best.

Engineer and migrate

Hands-on delivery: migration with zero data loss, automation as code, and hardening built in from the first commit.

Sustain and hand off

Observability, documentation, and a platform that stays manageable long after the engagement ends.

Start with the smallest thing that tells you something true

A fixed-scope assessment is the cheapest way to find out whether the problem is what you think it is, and whether we are the right firm to fix it. Two to three weeks, written findings, yours to keep either way.
