Software we've built since 2013

OceanDisc delivered four federal engagements as the engineering team on contracts held by Nsite LLC of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

For the U.S. Forest Service, we moved the Recreation Information Database, the store of recreation-area data behind Recreation.gov, out of the incumbent's hosting environment without breaking its agency feeds or its weekly exchange with the reservation service. Then we modernized it in place, rebuilding the schema and adding media uploads and richer public data.

For the Department of Defense, we worked on full software development and delivery for JLLIS, the department's system of record for lessons learned: design, development, testing, and release management for the Army, Air Force, SOCOM, and NATO instances, with builds packaged separately for unclassified and classified networks so no installation required cross-domain handling. At the Army's Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute, we supported SOLLIMS, the lessons platform for peace and stability operations.

And at Health & Human Services, we built the database layer behind the department's public acquisition forecast, together with the workflow contracting officers then used to review acquisitions for small-business set-asides.

We built to Section 508 accessibility standards throughout.

OceanDisc has worked with MetricsLed since 2013. MetricsLed is a UK firm that designs and manages technical assistance and grant programs for government and institutional funders around the world. In 2015 our work together widened from a single product to the platforms behind those programs. There are now more than a dozen, running in more than twenty countries.

The platforms range widely. Scholarship management that carries applicants from more than 150 countries through selection, award, and alumni life. A management information system that independent verifiers have audited a national health program against, year after year. Field-monitoring tools that move geotagged evidence from site visits to the dashboards of funders who cannot travel where their money goes. An operations platform that has supported a government's standing humanitarian surge capability since 2017.

Several of these programs run where access is hard and data is sensitive, so source protection is built into the data model and the field tools keep working when the connectivity doesn't.

If you are interested in more specific details about this broad range of work we've done over the past decade, please contact us and we'll walk you through it.

Our longest engagement is a product. MetricsLed DEPLOY and MetricsLed PROJECT are MetricsLed products we engineer together, and both are listed on the UK Government's G-Cloud framework.

MetricsLed DEPLOY manages rosters of deployable experts: member records, deployment tracking, time and expenses, and the availability forecasting that standby contracts depend on. We have worked on it continuously since 2013.

MetricsLed PROJECT has carried grant and program delivery for the aid sector since 2019: application intake, structured review, indicator reporting, and financial control in one audited system.

Both products are multi-tenant and have paying customers, so every release has to work for all of them at once. We apply the same release practice to our contract work.

Clients also hire us directly to design, build, and run systems end to end, among them the operations platform behind a national delivery network and years of e-commerce modernization for a family-owned distributor. On those engagements we handle discovery, delivery management, and long-term support ourselves, and they have run for years.
