In 2012, AKRF deployed Barracuda SSL VPN as a US East region IT and remote-access project to maintain business continuity during Hurricane Sandy. The implementation used Barracuda SSL VPN within the Remote Monitoring and Management category to provide secure, clientless remote access for staff, enabling AKRF to sustain operations and continue client engagements during the storm. The project was explicitly framed as an IT/remote-access initiative to allow staff to work remotely and maintain uninterrupted client services.
Configuration centered on the Barracuda SSL VPN clientless remote access module, provisioning secure web-based tunnels for employee access to internal systems without installing endpoint VPN software. Operational scope covered IT and business continuity functions across AKRF project teams in the affected region, and the rollout was coordinated as an IT-managed emergency access capability. Documented outcomes include continued operations during the natural disaster and uninterrupted delivery of client services.

In 2021, AKRF implemented Esri Arcgis as a Geographic Information System to support planning, engineering, environmental, and economic analysis workflows across its regional offices in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Connecticut and for projects around the country. The deployment was positioned to serve multidisciplinary teams of planners, engineers, scientists, and economists working on transportation, real estate, water, and energy engagements.
The Esri Arcgis rollout emphasized core GIS capabilities including centralized spatial data management, project level geodatabase design, cartographic production, spatial analysis, and data visualization for client deliverables. Configuration included standardized symbology and map templates, automated geoprocessing workflows, and support for field data capture and attribution to align GIS outputs with professional services reporting requirements.
Operational integration centered on CAD to GIS interoperability and structured ingestion of CAD deliverables, supported by a dedicated CAD Support Technician role to preserve data fidelity during conversion and attribution. The Geographic Information System was applied across project teams and offices to consolidate mapping, site analysis, and spatial datasets used in transportation, real estate, water, and energy projects.
Governance and rollout leveraged AKRF’s in-house training and professional development resources, with targeted internal training, documentation of geodatabase standards, and role based access controls to enforce data stewardship across disciplines. Training, certification support, and internal knowledge sharing were used to operationalize Esri Arcgis workflows within existing project delivery and quality control processes.
