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.

Who We Are

Fortis Data Group is a specialized data, cloud and AI engineering firm that designs, builds, modernizes, automates and operates the platforms regulated organizations depend on.

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 & Database 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 Infrastructure Engineering

Designing, provisioning and implementing the environments everything else runs on: compute, networking, storage, identity and Kubernetes, built as code with Terraform and Ansible across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and OCI.

◉

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.

◎

Platform Operations & DevSecOps

CI/CD, monitoring and observability, patching, upgrades, backup and restore verification and capacity planning, so platforms stay secure, recoverable and supportable long after go-live.

◈

Analytics & AI Infrastructure

Analytics platforms and the data pipelines behind them, retrieval-augmented generation over private datasets, and document intelligence, 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

Design

Every engagement starts with the real constraint: the access pattern, the compliance boundary, the mission outcome. The architecture is designed to fit the program, not the tool we happen to know best.

Build

Cloud infrastructure and data platforms provisioned as code, with hardening built in from the first commit.

Modernize

Migration with zero data loss, and legacy integration replaced with patterns that can be rebuilt from code.

Automate

CI/CD for infrastructure, schema and configuration change, so every environment is reproducible and every change is traceable.

Operate

Monitoring, patching, upgrades, restore verification and runbooks, so the platform 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.
