APRIL 2015 - CARPATHIA PUBLISHES A CASE STUDY ON IDEAMATICS, INC. SUPPORT TO THE U.S. COAST GUARD
To see the case study, please click here.
Carpathia, a leading provider of hybrid cloud services and managed hosting, highlighted IDEAMATICS support to the U.S. Coast Guard's mission critical Mobilization Readiness Tracking Tool and Volunteer Bulletin Board.
In support of the USCG, IDEAMATICS developed the Mobilization Readiness Tracking Tool (MRTT) and its complementary Volunteer Bulletin Board (VBB) web-enabled applications.
To meet the USCG’s operational requirements, IDEAMATICS needed an infrastructure partner that could provide a secure hosting solution, backup continuity of operations (COOP) capabilities, robust Internet access and 24/7 support. FISMA compliant hosting was critical to ensuring IDEAMATICS that the MRTT and VBB applications could provide a secure and convenient tool for USCG personnel use during contingencies.
Carpathia understood IDEAMATICS’ needs and worked to provide a solution that could more securely, conveniently and cost-effectively manage their hosting infrastructure. Carpathia determined the specific security, accessibility, backup and response time capabilities needed and developed an offering to meet the USCG requirements for responsiveness and uptime. After scanning for vulnerabilities and implementing the solution into the FISMA-compliant hosting solution, Carpathia and IDEAMATICS were able to create a system that the Coast Guard can rely upon.
Carpathia’s hands-on team of engineers and experienced staff delivered a secure FISMA-compliant hosted solution to meet the Coast Guard needs in support of its mission-critical MRTT and VBB web-enabled applications.
IDEAMATICS appreciates Carpathia's steady and reliable teamwork since 2007. For more information about Carpathia, go to www.carpathia.com.

January 2015 - IDEAMATICS migrates Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (MCMPS) to Marine Corps Enterprise Information Technology Services (MCEITS) environment.
IDEAMATICS, Inc., as a subcontractor to the InfoReliance Corporation migrated the USMC Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (MCMPS) to the Marine Corps Enterprise Information Technology Services (MCEITS) hosting environment. This move improves the security and reliability of the application and provides a better overall user experience for Marine Corps users worldwide. IDEAMATICS helped in all aspects of the migration, including the initial planning phase, requirements gathering, performance metrics, data staging, and application configuration. IDEAMATICS was also instrumental in converting all of the nightly jobs to the new environment, including the complex Operational Data Store Enterprise (ODSE) personnel data pull. IDEAMATICS also assisted with establishing the Marine Reserve Orders Writing System (MROWS) web service on the new MCEITS server environment.

DECEMBER 2014 - IDEAMATICS, INC. SUPPORTS ESTABLISHMENT OF THE NAVAL SURFACE WARFIGHTING DEVELOPMENT CENTER
U.S. Navy to establish a Surface Warfare doctrine development, training and assessment command.
The Chief of Naval Operations will establish the Naval Surface Warfighting Development Center (NSWDC) to provide an effective and integrated approach in support of surface combat training readiness requirements in all warfighting domains. This is essential in meeting the operational and functional goals of the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps. The NSWDC will ultimately raise the tactical acumen of the Navy’s fighting forces and link combat readiness to resources thereby raising the Fleets’ tactical effectiveness.
On 4 December 2014, IDEAMATICS, Inc. was awarded a contract to conduct a manpower analysis of the NSWDC’s human resource requirements. The manpower analysis effort supports development and management of mission-based metrics and recommendations for NSWDC’s ultimate force structure. IDEAMATICS will provide this support to NSWDC by independently assessing the current workforce of all commands that will make up the future NSWDC and recommending how this workforce could support future manning.
IDEAMATICS and its partner, Whitney, Bradley & Brown, Inc. (WBB), will meet with the leadership and staff of designated commands in order to assess all missions, functions, and tasks of their current work forces. Once the IDEAMATICS team completes billet analysis for each command, they will make recommendations regarding the manning requirements of NSWDC in order to accomplish all necessary missions, functions and tasks. Finally, the IDEAMATICS team will analyze the extent to which available billets are aligned with the requirements of the NSWDC and make recommendations that will enable the Commander, NSWDC to develop a workforce optimized to achieve the vision of effective and integrated Surface Warfare doctrine development and implementation.

JULY 2014 - IDEAMATICS INC. DEPLOYS MRTT VBB MOBILE APP
The US Coast Guard announced the roll-out of a Mobile Device application version of its mission-critical web-enabled Mobilization Readiness Tracking Tool (MRTT) Volunteer Bulletin Board (VBB) developed by IDEAMATICS. This mobile application allows USCG members to view, apply for, and receive status updates for Volunteer Opportunities posted in MRTT VBB. The goal of the USCG MRTT VBB–M as a member resource is to provide Coast Guard members with easy access to opportunities, routine and emergency response, from the convenience of their mobile devices anywhere, anytime.
“The enhanced availability provided by the VBB-M benefits the USCG by casting a wider net, particularly important when personnel augments with specific skills are needed on short notice during any one of the many contingencies the USCG is called on to support,” stated Dr. David Danner, IDEAMATICS Inc., developer of the app.
The MRTT is the Coast Guard’s enterprise solution that can advertise, track and report mission critical requirements throughout the entire Coast Guard. This affords PSC, District DXR’s and Resource Unit Leaders working within IMTs or ICPs, greater flexibility in identifying and sourcing Coast Guard personnel assets. MRTT replaced a myriad of antiquated methods to accomplish this task. While not a replacement for TMT, or CGBI, MRTT synthesizes training, qualifications, and medical readiness information into one application, resulting in larger and more accurate candidate pools for any given mission critical requirement.
The Volunteer Bulletin Board allows a Coast Guard member to view current USCG requirements in MRTT, and apply for those that the member qualifies and is available for. Only valid USCG members can submit an application to be vetted by their Command, the supported Command and the sourcing agent.
