Recent projects include:
- Large-scale extract-transform-load (ETL) projects to migrate knowledge assets between platforms

Cutting-Edge Technologies
Over the past few years, the FireOak team has become particularly interested in several new technologies and how they can be deployed to help our clients solve real-world problems. We’re particularly interested in how we can use AI, automation, 3d printing, VR, and other makerspace technologies. AI has been a game changer, especially for small and mid-sized organizations, leveling the playing field by democratizing access to advanced technologies that were once the domain of large enterprises.
