Services & Solutions

Web Based Solutions

• Simple and complex systems designed and developed specifically to operate on and use the facilities provided by Intranets and the Internet in secure and non-secure environments. Our services include full implementation of and training on all systems that we build.
• Creative Internet “Front Ends” to corporate and government legacy data systems of all sizes. These front ends make previously “closed circuit” commercial and government systems available to all authorized users worldwide while locking out all unauthorized access.
• Design, develop and implement web front ends for existing databases embedded in other data systems.
• Creative and innovative new web sites.

Systems Integration

• Design, develop and implement software bridges between existing systems whether or not those systems are written in the same software language or are operating on the same or similar hardware platforms and networks.
• Design, develop and implement web services to link disparate systems through the tools and facilities available on private, commercial and/or government Intranets and the worldwide Internet.

Modeling and Simulation

• Design, development and implementation of algorithms that use historic and current data to compute and project the likelihood of future markets and or actions.
• Design, development and implementation of automated tools to evaluate a variety of scenarios in commercial, government and military situations based on the fixed and variable inputs. The resulting evaluations can be used as multi-level decision tools and to prepare proper support resources for projects and operations.

Metrics

• Using automated tools to identify and track key productivity indicators for continuous process improvements.
• Using automated scans to record processing times and flows to identify operational bottlenecks in computer systems and process flows.

Cross System Reporting Tools

• Creating services that collect, normalize and report in tabular and graphical forms from disparate data residing in existing legacy and web based systems.

Selected Client System Summaries

IDEAMATICS, Inc. has broad and deep experience in global force management and sourcing, as well as total asset visibility and mobilization processing. This experience dates back before 1982 when IDEAMATICS developed the first mobilization notification system for the Department of Defense that utilized Western Union Mailgrams. In 1994 we designed, developed and implemented the Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (MCMPS) for the USMC. It is a workflow system that integrates requirement and sourcing processes, allowing automated re-tasking as tasked steps are completed. Ultimately, in tandem with innovations in technology, we modernized the system to be one of the essential web-based tools in the USMC inventory.

Capitalizing on our knowledge of requirements processing and force sourcing and our USMC portfolio, IDEAMATICS, was selected to partner with Microsoft in 2002, to adapt the MCMPS to serve the rapidly developing needs of the U.S. Navy. Since we’d already used Microsoft’s commercially available development tools and advanced workflow approach for our USMC work, we were able to quickly fast-track a web-based version of the Navy-Marine Corps Mobilization Processing System (NMCMPS) that satisfied the Navy’s emerging requirements. Today, NMCMPS is the Navy’s singular web-based solution which streamlines the processing of active duty augmentees and the mobilization of reserve forces, captures active duty and reserve data in a single system, and provides stakeholders with end-to-end visibility throughout the process.

From the outset NMCMPS has been bi-furcated, operating in both the military’s secure (SIPRNET) and non-secure (NIPRNET) environments, as appropriate to the business rules of the functions being performed. NMCMPS functionality is being accessed worldwide based on complex role based access. In addition when business rules dictate, the USMC’s requirement and asset information is automatically passed to the USN’s NMCMPS system through a web service.

As the Navy’s role in support of the Global War on Terror has expanded and become more complex, it’s requirements for more NMCMPS functionality have and continue to evolve and expand. Because we work with the Navy’s key functional experts on a daily basis, our development team has been able to keep pace with the emerging requirements and mission changes by deploying new versions of the system every three months.

The United States Coast Guard also recognized IDEAMATICS’ expertise and selected us design, develop and implement its Mobilization Readiness Tracking Tool (MRTT) and Contingency Personnel Management System (CPMS). The USCG chose us because of our knowledge, ability to develop flexible web-based software skills and proven client interaction and responsiveness. Integral to MRTT/CPMS is the mission requirements planning or Contingency Personnel Requirements List (CPRL) feature, which provides readiness data and “sailing lists” from the moment a mission alert is issued to the point where the mission response group departs. Every step along the way is visible to commanders and staff with access defined by their pre-designated roles. MRTT’s asset visibility encompasses Active Duty, Reserve, Government Civilian, and Contractor personnel. In addition, to maximize planning and visibility, the system generates essential management reports.

IDEAMATICS, Inc. global visibility requirements and sourcing experience, as well as our appreciation for the likely obstacles developing and implementing a Force Provider Global Sourcing Collaborative Workflow Staffing Capability stem from our work for Joint Forces Command (JFCOM J33) Force Planning and Sourcing Action Officers. Based on the data elements identified in the FMIP Global Visibility document, we conducted a study to identify the authoritative data systems for asset and readiness data for each of the Services. We learned firsthand the reticence of the Services to share data that they deemed proprietary with no desire to share with JFCOM. Despite the lack of Service component cooperation, IDEAMATICS was able to design, develop and deliver a working software prototype of the Joint Mobilization Processing System (JMPS), an asset integration and sourcing visibility and workflow system.
