The Collaboration to Adopt USKids is the first federally funded adoption project to use the Internet to help find families for children waiting for adoption. In its first year of operation, 1,500 of the 6,500 listed children have been successfully adopted.

The Collaboration web site is used by many thousands of prospective parents and social workers every day. Grail Technology Group provided a number of services to the Collaboration for the site launch and provides ongoing services as they continue to develop the site:

• Assessment of original hosting system
• Worked with consulting team to design new system to handle increased system load
• Worked with Service provider to deploy new systems in less than a month
• Worked with Oracle to acquire licenses for the site
• Provided transition support to new hardware. This was done almost seamlessly with minutes of downtime
• Set up VPN infrastructure for the Collaboration's geographically distributed team

Grail continues to provide ongoing technical consulting advice and advocacy for the organization.
