Modernizing DOI’s Data Ecosystems for Land, Resource, and Climate Resilience

Why You Should Care

The Department of the Interior manages vast missions spanning public lands, Indigenous affairs, and natural resources. In the last year, DOI has advanced major modernization projects: digitizing millions of historic land records, awarding a $2B cloud services contract, and deploying AI for wildfire response and environmental management. These efforts aim to replace fragmented legacy systems with cloud-based, AI-enabled platforms that improve transparency, speed, and resilience.

Legacy Systems Are Slowing DOI’s Mission

From century-old land title archives to outdated operational systems for wildfire and energy infrastructure, DOI faces a critical need to modernize its data environment. Disparate legacy databases prevent integrated insights across bureaus, while high-stakes use cases like wildfire prediction require real-time data flow that current systems can’t support. Without modern data platforms, DOI risks inefficiencies in land transactions, slower emergency response, and underutilization of AI tools designed to protect people and resources.

WinterCorp Enables DOI to Unlock the Full Value of Data

Digitize and Integrate Historical Records

Design modern data warehouse and catalog systems to unify BLM’s “land records ecosystem,” enabling fast, searchable access to centuries of records.

Architect Cloud Data Platforms for Bureaus

Support bureau migrations under the $2B FCHS II contract, from USGS geospatial datasets to energy resource databases — ensuring scalable, cloud-native performance.

Enable AI for Environmental Management

Build streaming and big data platforms for wildfire modeling, satellite imagery, and climate analytics — turning raw feeds into actionable insights for rapid response.

Expertise in Large-Scale Data Ecosystem Modernization

Proven track record in data warehouse modernization and cloud migrations at enterprise scale
Specialization in integrating legacy systems with modern data platforms for search, analytics, and AI
Direct alignment with DOI’s priorities: digitized records, interoperable platforms, and AI-enhanced decision-making

With a $2B cloud enablement contract in place and AI-driven wildfire management initiatives underway, DOI has momentum and budget for modernization. WinterCorp can ensure these projects deliver lasting value by architecting systems that turn raw records and real-time data into reliable intelligence.
