Government & Agencies
The developers who built your Notes Domino systems retired years ago, taking institutional knowledge with them. Security assessments flag legacy platform vulnerabilities.
Audits produce recommendations about modernization. Appropriations cycles include questions about when you’ll address technology debt.
Citizens who can check their bank balance on their phone expect government services that work similarly. Your legacy applications can’t deliver that experience. The gap widens every year.
You need to modernize. The real constraint? Budget approval, oversight scrutiny, and the absolute requirement that services continue without disruption.
We’ve worked with federal and national departments, provincial and state agencies, and municipal governments where these same constraints existed. Let’s talk about whether we can help with your situation.
What Government Leaders Tell Us
Government CIOs and IT directors face constraints that make legacy modernization both urgent and complex. You’re accountable to citizens who expect reliable services, oversight bodies that scrutinize technology decisions, and budget authorities who demand defensible ROI.
You can’t simply shut down services while you rebuild technology.
Security Risk Is Escalating
Government agencies manage information that sophisticated attackers specifically target—citizen data, inter-agency communications, and operational systems. Your Notes platforms lack the security architecture that defending against modern threats requires. Zero-trust architecture, advanced threat detection, modern encryption—none of these exist in legacy platforms. They can’t be added through patches.
Major cybersecurity frameworks now flag legacy platform risk as critical for government operations. Assessments by federal, state, or provincial authorities emphasize the exposure that outdated systems create. Your security teams understand this risk. Each year widens the gap between what protecting government information requires and what legacy platforms can deliver.
Compliance and Audit Readiness Get Harder Each Year
Government compliance requirements are extensive and evolving—FOIA requests, chain-of-custody documentation, data retention for vital records, sector-specific frameworks. Legacy systems make demonstrating compliance harder than necessary.
Responding to FOIA requests requires manual processes. Demonstrating chain-of-custody means explaining workarounds to auditors, and proving data retention requires tracking outside your systems. These compliance gaps create risk that oversight bodies increasingly flag as unacceptable.
Agency CIOs tell us they’re building modernization business cases specifically to eliminate the compliance challenges that legacy platforms create.
Budget Reality Constrains Options
You’ve probably seen proposals for complete system rebuilds—multi-million dollar projects stretching across multiple appropriations cycles. Maybe one survived the budget process. More likely, committees asked hard questions about ROI, and the funding never materialized.
You need approaches that work within budget constraints while satisfying oversight requirements and delivering measurable improvements that justify the investment.
How We Help Government Agencies Modernize
We’ve worked with government agencies. We understand the requirements you face—appropriations processes, oversight scrutiny, security standards, and the absolute requirement that citizen services continue without disruption.
Revive: Migration While Operations Continue
Government operations can’t afford service disruptions. Revive handles Lotus Domino migrations while your existing systems remain fully operational.
Case management workflows, inter-agency coordination processes, and vital records systems convert to modern technology—React interface that work on any device, Java business logic that runs in secure government cloud environments, SQL databases with proper encryption and access controls—while maintaining the functionality that citizens and agency operations depend on.
The migration happens in parallel. Vital records remain accessible. Citizen services continue. Operations maintain full continuity.
How long does it take for your specific environment? That depends on your applications. We can tell you after analyzing your systems.
AppAnalyzer: Data for Budget Justification
Before committing budget to a migration, you need a clear understanding of your application landscape. Which applications support citizen services that can’t be interrupted? Which manage vital records requiring careful chain-of-custody? Which apps handle inter-agency coordination?
AppAnalyzer provides comprehensive portfolio analysis at no cost. The analysis delivers data about your current environment—and clear information about what migration would address.
Dcom: Meeting Long-Term Retention Requirements
Government agencies face data retention requirements that often extend decades or exist permanently for certain record types. Even after decommissioning the systems that created them, you must maintain access with demonstrated integrity and chain of custody.
FOIA requests arrive. Legal proceedings require evidence. Policy reviews need historical context. You must retrieve original information for all of these.
Dcom converts legacy data to compliant, searchable archives that maintain original document structure for legal authenticity, support full-text search for FOIA responses, preserve access controls and audit trails, and remain accessible through standard interfaces.
Why Government Agencies Work With Us
Government application migrations requires understanding the environment you operate within—the appropriations processes, the oversight scrutiny, the security requirements, and the necessity that citizen services continue without disruption.
We’ve worked with government clients where security clearances were required and maintained, where audit trails were scrutinized by inspectors general, where business continuity was verified, and where budget justifications satisfied appropriations committees because ROI was documented and defensible.
Agency leadership wants legacy risk eliminated. Budget offices want cost-effective solutions. Oversight bodies want assurance that public resources are being spent responsibly. Citizens want services that work reliably.
Can we help with your specific situation? Schedule a call. We’ve done work for government organizations at the federal/national, provincial/state, and municipal levels—managing everything from dozens of applications to hundreds of legacy databases. And we’ll give you straight answers about whether our approach makes sense for your government environment.
