GSA’s Personal Property Management System (PPMS) modernization unified seven legacy mainframe applications into a single platform. Prior to starting the project, we communicated a clear and motivating vision, focusing on business enablement, enhanced user experience, operational efficiency, reducing technology sustainment cost, and ensuring data are optimized for maximum value. A shared sense of ownership informed strong partnerships, which were reinforced with collaboration, transparency and clear expectation setting.
Our teams, processes, and solutions thrive through partnership. By fostering a culture of shared ownership, we empower our customers and users to take ownership of our joint success. This is the REI Way.

The REI Difference: 35+ Years of Reliability, Effectiveness, and Innovation

At REI Systems, we do more than just complete projects—we empower Federal agencies to achieve lasting success.
A large Federal civilian agency relied on a mainframe-hosted application to manage trademark application data. However, its outdated technology and reliance on over twenty independent legacy systems led to redundant tasks, increased risk of data loss, and unnecessary complexity, which delayed application processing, slowed customer service, and raised operational costs. REI transformed the application suite from a non-modular structure to a microservices-based architecture, enhancing search capabilities and user interface reliability by transitioning to modern technologies like Angular for the front end and Elastic Search for the back end hosted on AWS. In 2024, this modernization effort culminated with the retirement of legacy system and the launch of the new system, a cloud-enabled, Oracle-based platform that enhances system reliability and scalability.
Our unique approach integrates three key tools that enhance service delivery and customer satisfaction:
- Mission-Driven Journeymaps: We work side by side with Federal agencies to design flexible frameworks that adapt to evolving priorities, ensuring that IT service delivery stays aligned with mission objectives and delivers real impact.
- Customized Performance Dashboards: We believe in transparency and accountability. Our dashboards provide clear visibility into key metrics, helping stakeholders track progress, optimize resources, and achieve cost savings.
- Program Collaboration Portals: Effective communication is key. Our portals facilitate seamless, 24/7 collaboration, streamlining decision-making and strengthening partnerships across Federal departments.
Overcoming Challenges with Confidence
Federal IT programs come with unique regulatory, security, and operational hurdles. That’s why we take a proactive approach to problem-solving, ensuring that agencies stay ahead of challenges.
Over the past five years, REI has modernized the Department of Defense (Do) Defense SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal (DSIP) platform, improving cloud migration and system reliability. These enhancements have created a more efficient, secure, and user-friendly system, allowing over 50,000 small businesses and many DoD components—including the Army, Navy, and Air Force—to collaborate seamlessly and contribute to defense innovations. REI helped redesign the portal into a cloud-based framework with an intuitive user interface and microservices architecture, which simplifies the application process, making it easier for DoD components to find and support innovative ideas more efficiently. Thanks to a more user-friendly system, small businesses are bringing new ideas without an extra burden on staff or resources. Uptime, accountability, and security are all improved, and the optimized cloud architecture cut AWS costs by 30%.
Our strategies include:
- Adaptive Risk Management: Using real-time data, analytics, and insights, we help agencies anticipate risks and transform challenges into opportunities, keeping projects on track.
- Next-Gen Innovation: At REI, innovation isn’t just a buzzword—it’s embedded in everything we do. We enhance efficiency, automate processes, and implement cutting-edge solutions while maintaining full compliance with Federal security and regulatory requirements.
- Excellence-Driven Assurance: Quality is our top priority. With continuous assessment and proactive feedback, we refine our approach to ensure superior service delivery.
- THE REI Way: Our methodologies are built on industry best practices, including PMI-PMBOK, ISO, ITIL 4, and CMMI. These frameworks ensure reliable, high-quality, and continuously improving solutions tailored to Federal IT environments.
