Practice Overview

University IT that keeps pace with research.

Higher education IT operates at an unusual intersection: research computing demands at petabyte scale alongside administrative systems serving tens of thousands of students, all inside FERPA-regulated boundaries with limited IT staffing.

Ingress delivers cloud modernization, research data infrastructure, and AI implementations for R1 universities, liberal arts colleges, and community college systems. We work alongside CIO offices and research computing teams, not around them.

  • Research computing and HPC. Cloud HPC infrastructure, research data lakes, computational workflow platforms, NSF and NIH compliance alignment.
  • Student systems modernization. SIS/ERP migration support, LMS integration, and data platform builds for enrollment, advising, and outcomes analytics.
  • Cloud modernization. AWS and Azure landing zones for higher education, network modernization, and data center consolidation.
  • AI implementation. Student success analytics, research data discovery, administrative automation, and AI-augmented advising via Otonmi.
  • FERPA and compliance. Student data governance, FERPA boundary design, cyber risk assessments, and incident response planning.
  • IT staffing. Research computing architects, data engineers, and CIO office support. Senior-screened talent.
