Think of us as your outsourced IT department or engineering team.

Welcome to Columbia Ops a problem-solving team a solution to your IT and development needs
We are a team of seasoned IT professionals and software developers with a combined experience of over 45 years in a wide range of disciplines and technologies. We work remotely and are based in Portland, Oregon.
Solution Architecture Consulting
We use the term “Solution Architect“ because we do more than just architect software. We specialize in providing solutions to business challenges in a holistic way. Although we favor Amazon Web Services (AWS), we can work with anything. HIPAA-compliant platforms are our specialty.
Development Operations (DevOps)
“Infrastructure as code.” You’ve probably heard of this, or would like to move in that direction. We are adept at using automation tools such as Chef and Puppet, and have extensive experience on AWS and other infrastructure providers.
Database Consulting
Do you need some help with database design? Need some poor-performing queries debugged? How about a database migration, or some data extracted, transformed and loaded into a new store (i.e., ETL)? We can help with this. Although we favor PostgreSQL, we have experience with MySQL and various database options on AWS.
Ruby-on-Rails Support
Do you need help supporting, maintaining or upgrading a Ruby-on-Rails Web application, especially one using a legacy version of RoR? We have been working with it since its early days.
Security Solutions
Modern hosting and automation technologies have produced new security solutions as well as new security challenges. We have much expertise bringing complex systems into compliance with many different regulatory compliance entities (PCI, HIPAA, DoD, etc).
Scaling Consulting
Highly available distributed applications are our speciality. Let us help you deploy your application across multiple data centers and increase durability. We can help you gain confience in the delivery of your application.
Healthcare Data Integration
We love using the powerful and open-source Mirth Connect tool to build cost-efficient healthcare data integration solutions. Do you need an interface built to exchange data between an LIS and an EMR system? Or perhaps a data aggregation and reporting solution for a HEDIS measures-based quality management initiative? We can help.
Application and API Development
We‘ve built a lot of software, mainly using Ruby on Rails and NodeJS. We pride ourselves in using established best practices, writing unit and integration tests, automating deployment and monitoring, etc. We have extensive experience building HIPAA-compliant applications.
Analytics and Reporting Solutions
We have built a variety of custom data visualization solutions to help businesses coerce and make sense of their data. We leverage cutting edge client-side libraries such as D3 and Crossfilter in order to provide an optimal user experience.

What Our Customers Are Saying
We couldn’t be happier with Columbia Ops. They helped us integrate our XPS clients with a Cerner EMR system at a major university. During design, implementation, and interface maintenance they have been professional, courteous, and ethical.
We have adopted them as our “go to” resource for our health IT projects.
