About The Customer
Warrior Gateway is a nonprofit organization that connects servicemembers and veterans to each other, their local communities and a wealth of knowledge through a virtual community center at warriorgateway.org. Warrior Gateway provides a resource directory known as the G.I. Network. This service connects users with education, employment, health and wellness programs from 220,000 service providers, as well as veteran-specific job opportunities. The G.I. Network also features a community-centric blog focused on making the transition back to civilian life as seamless as possible. Since 2012, the G.I. Network has helped over 50,000 servicemembers and veterans return home for good.
The Challenge
Warrior Gateway, a nonprofit organization, aimed to create the G.I. Network as a single source of truth connecting veterans to the right support services. However, the existence of so many resources alongside complex Veterans Administration and Department of Defense regulations has created an overwhelming maze that vets must navigate to find basic information about healthcare, education, housing, and employment resources available to them. The challenges included bringing together data from multiple sources, launching resources quickly, and custom application development with limited internal resources.
The Solution
Warrior Gateway chose the MarkLogic database as the foundation of the G.I. Network for its ability to bring together information from a diverse range of resources and make it available to veterans in different formats. The MarkLogic Enterprise NoSQL database platform allows the G.I. Network to capture, store, and analyze a diverse range of ever-changing, high volume content in an open access shareable environment enabling developers to discover the shape and dimensions of data, quickly assess trends and patterns, and explore data more naturally. The G.I. Network is now able to give various front-line veteran service organizations direct access to a constantly updated resource directory that they can easily display on their own sites.
