Enterprise Data Systems and IT Operations

GST has decades of experience developing and supporting enterprise-level systems. Examples include developing and maintaining NASA NSPIRES, a robust web services interface for managing the submission, review, and appraisal of proposals from the scientific community, and designing, developing, testing, operating, and maintaining CLASS, NOAA’s enterprise-level archive for weather, climate, and environmental data. We also developed and operated GRAVITE, a node of the JPSS ground segment, and provide comprehensive IT, network, and cybersecurity services for all 55 West Virginia counties.
