RAND Corporation, a global leader in policy research, required a highly secure, modern intranet environment to support staff collaboration and compliance requirements. With sensitive projects and government partnerships, RAND needed a solution that combined innovation with rigorous security standards.
6SC implemented a SharePoint Online intranet within the Microsoft Government Community Cloud (GCC). The platform featured custom, responsive design elements and web parts pulling data from SharePoint lists, document libraries, and external systems.
What made RAND unique was the scale of the intranet and the compliance requirements. We needed a solution that felt modern and dynamic, but also checked every box on security and governance.
A major challenge was importing hundreds of legacy HTML pages into the new system. 6SC developed automated processes to migrate and modernize this content, ensuring continuity while reducing technical debt.

RAND is credited with popularizing the concept of the “think tank” and, even before Sputnik, recommended satellites as a way to photograph Earth from space.
The results have been transformative. RAND now operates on a scalable, secure intranet that supports global collaboration while meeting government standards.
