Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Ad Hoc has joined with IronArch Technologies to create a new joint venture company named Peregrine Digital Services LLC.
Through Peregrine, Ad Hoc, and IronArch will have the ability to build on our years of experience supporting agencies as they modernize their platforms while providing better services to the public.
IronArch is a rapidly growing small business that has already had impressive success supporting the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and other agencies. They have helped the VA manage its journey to hosting most of its applications in the cloud through their cloud management services and proprietary CloudKey technology, which supports data migration and decision support. They’ve also helped the VA ensure its services are accessible so that all Veterans, no matter their ability, can access the benefits and services they need.
Ad Hoc has a long history of supporting the VA as it builds a digital-first agency centered around the needs of Veterans. We’ve helped the VA transform VA.gov into a Veteran-centric experience, developed platforms that speed up software development, and created data-rich resources for VA and vendor teams. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ad Hoc helped the VA use data to respond to the pandemic and added features to existing services to allow Veterans to schedule vaccination appointments online.
In early 2022, VA launched its health and benefits mobile app with support from Ad Hoc. The app provides Veterans with convenient, seamless, and secure access to their healthcare and benefits information and has received tens of thousands of positive reviews. Now, Ad Hoc and IronArch are working together in support of prime Booz Allen Hamilton to build a Veterans Digital ID.
As Peregrine, we plan to serve both the VA and a wide variety of federal agencies. Our initial focus on the VA is inspired in part by one particular Veteran — U.S. Marine Corps First Lieutenant Alexander “Cliffhanger” Wetherbee.
