Experience in Action

Proven on complex, high stakes programs

Our approach is built on more than 14 years of delivering large technology programs for public transit agencies. A few highlights from our leadership's experience:

Statewide transit agency

Fare Revenue System Modernization

Coordinating the move of a legacy mainframe fare revenue system to a modern cloud web application, delivered in phases across rail and bus to cut manual processing and rework.

Statewide transit agency

Fare Collection Modernization

Coordinated hardware upgrades, software enhancements, mobile ticket validation, and a unified account based back office across ticket machines, faregates, and validators.

Statewide transit agency

Mobile Device Platform Migration

Oversaw the move of mobile ticket validation devices from iOS to Android, aligning scope, dependencies, and staffing so the work could proceed without new development or infrastructure.

Regional commuter rail system

Data Center Server Migration

Relocated 38 servers to a new data center after a site closure, with operating system upgrades across development, test, and production environments.

Regional transportation authority

Phased Database Migration

Managed a phased Oracle database migration during a data center technology refresh. Five databases moved on plan, and the remaining databases followed in the final phase.

Major metropolitan transit authority

Retail Sales Systems Delivery

Coordinated delivery and production support for retail fare sales systems, from requirements and testing through issue resolution with business users, technical teams, and vendors.
