We're keeping our heads in the cloud

We’ve developed a set of innovative, data-driven solutions that can be tailored to meet the specific needs of our government partners. What sets our solutions apart is their adaptability – we don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches. Instead, we work closely with each partner to understand their unique context, constraints, and goals, then customize our proven frameworks to fit their specific requirements.

Whether it's optimizing unemployment insurance systems, improving educational outcomes, or enhancing public health initiatives, our solutions combine cutting-edge data science with deep policy expertise to deliver measurable results. By leveraging cloud-based technologies, advanced analytics, and user-friendly interfaces, we create tools that not only solve immediate problems but also build long-term capacity for data-driven decision-making within government agencies.

Research Data Lakes

Research Data Lakes – “RDLs” – are the backbone of our products and research. RDLs are fully scalable, cloud-based data centralization and transformation tools.


An RDL pulls existing, unstructured data from multiple sources and pools it into a single “lake” for analysis. For example, siloed data from workforce development, education, and health, and departments can be brought together to power more robust, holistic analyses that inform public policy and programs.


The entire process is automated, eliminating the need for lengthy and expensive inter-departmental data gathering. These secure, research-ready environments can feed APIs to produce data visualization, predictive modeling, AI-powered interventions, and causal analysis tools.


Additionally, our RDLs are FedRAMP-secure and modular. RIPL provides the tools and expertise, but our partners maintain full ownership of their RDLs. Partners retain full control over their data, with automated logging and auditing to provide complete transparency into its use.

Secure Data Enclaves

Secure Data Enclaves, or “SDEs,” allow administrators to collaborate with other databases without compromising security. Rather than simply throwing data into one large collective and siphoning information from there, SDEs pull specifically defined data into a protected “enclave.”


Like a white glove archivist in a rarefied reference library, SDEs lay out only relevant and needed information, leaving the rest of the collection under lock and key. Similarly, SDEs enable control over how the data is accessed, whether it can be copied or exported, and who is allowed into the “room.”


SDEs can support multiple environments, such as Windows or Linux, and any analysis package or software. By confining access to only relevant data and setting careful restrictions on its use, SDEs mitigate the headaches and vulnerabilities of juggling individual access to vast amounts of sensitive information.

SIRAD

By its very nature, data that impacts the lives of the public is highly sensitive and personal. Responsible research means protecting the privacy of the people behind the data. Of course, without being able to cross-reference data on specific individuals, combined data from multiple sources can become useless noise.


That’s where SIRAD comes in – Secure Infrastructure for Research with Administrative Data. SIRAD is an open-source integration framework that cleans and organizes data for research without jeopardizing privacy or security.


SIRAD strips an individual’s data of personally identifiable information, “PII,” before making it available to human researchers. PII is replaced with a global anonymized identifier, a high-tech “nickname” for researchers to reference when joining data on an individual person, without ever knowing that person’s actual identity.

DOORS

The rapidly evolving job market presents myriad challenges, but also exciting opportunities for improvement and innovation. With increasing demand for specialized roles, employers struggle to find the perfect fit for open positions, while qualified jobseekers may not be aware of unexpected avenues available to them.


With the right tools, we can bridge that gap, helping employers tap into a dynamic workforce and connecting skilled workers with the right employment and training opportunities.


DOORS (“Data for Opportunity in Occupational Reskilling Solution”) provides the tools to build that bridge.

Certified Payroll Hub

Prevailing Wage laws are meant to protect workers from wage exploitation while working on public projects, but enforcing those laws requires careful monitoring and transparency. State governments may find themselves struggling on both fronts without modern tools to handle unwieldy payroll data.


RIPL’s cloud-based, customizable web application – the Certified Payroll hub - boosts enforcement efforts and simplifies the process for everyone involved.


Government workers are given enhanced tools for search and analysis, while contractors are provided user-friendly ways to submit certified payroll records. Cloud-based storage infrastructure provides public access to compliance data for transparency and accountability.

Custom Solutions

But we also understand that every partner and challenge is unique. While our customizable technology solutions can be adapted to various contexts, our expertise extends far beyond pre-existing tools.


We pride ourselves on our ability to work closely with partners to design, develop, and deploy fully custom technology and science solutions from the ground up.


Our approach is rooted in collaboration and innovation. When a partner comes to us with a challenge that requires a novel approach, we leverage our interdisciplinary expertise in policy, data science, and technology to create bespoke solutions. This process involves:


  • In-depth consultation to fully understand the specific needs and context

  • Collaborative design sessions to conceptualize innovative approaches

  • Agile development of custom technology and analytical methodologies

  • Rigorous testing and refinement to ensure optimal performance

  • Seamless deployment and ongoing support


Whether providing consulting services, adapting our existing tools to suit a partner’s unique needs, or creating entirely new solutions, our goal remains constant: to deliver impactful, data-driven innovations that address complex public sector challenges and improve lives. This flexibility allows us to meet our partners where they are and provide the most effective solutions for their unique circumstances, all backed by RIPL’s commitment to excellence and evidence-based impact.
