When it came to its vast management enterprise, Leidos faced a difficult challenge: they needed to “do more with less, and do it faster.” Budget stagnation and increased competition, paired with a growing focus on performance-based contracting, and intensified prioritization on cyber-security— following an OPM Data Breach—lead Leidos to search for a transformative mobile EAM solution that could help it reach its goals.
Leidos needed a secure solution that could manage the maintenance of thousands of high-value assets dispersed across more than 450 distributed locations, intending to provide near real-time insight and 100% visibility of field performance to an expansive, high impact, high-risk enterprise workforce.
They chose Interloc Solutions for its impressive fifteen-plus year history as a 100% Maximo focused IBM Gold Accredited and Premier Business Partner. However, what truly lead Leidos to Interloc Solutions was its award-winning Mobile Informer platform and the functionality, security, and adaptability that comes along with it. Leidos recognized Mobile Informer’s ability to leverage Maximo and Oracle security, its functional, purpose-built interface, platform agnosticism, and philosophy of empowering end users while maintaining security, as integral in its effort to maximize efficiency without compromising safety.
Mobile Informer delivered Leidos a custom solution that was NIST 800.53(R4) compliant, and enhanced IT security via a MIF based solution, leveraging database and architecture security. Built within the existing Maximo framework and free of burdensome middleware, it provided a single point of security management, as opposed to multiple systems that create additional potential points of failure. Further ensuring safety, the Leidos’ custom Mobile Informer solution reduced external vulnerabilities from web interfaces, encrypted data from end-to-end, including data at rest on the device, and enabled multi-factor authentication via PIV/CAC card compliance.
In addition to meeting the essential security requirements, Mobile Informer’s custom solution integrated traceable metrics and KPIs for near real-time visibility. This insight ensures clear measurables for PCB evaluation, and supplies asset health monitoring capabilities to optimize uptime.
Its end-user-centric design allows for customizable, role-based workflows to enhance business processes, and the customizable user role and permission settings allow workers access to user-specific or shared data depending on their privileges.
In part to its native app functionality and user-friendly UI, the Mobile Informer solution fostered a 100% adoption rate. Leidos now has a management app with purpose-built interfaces specific to end user needs, that can provide robust data security. Informer's off-line first design, and seamless integration with Maximo keeps Leidos connected and allows real-time data for up to the minute insight for critical decision making. And with its native development language and tools, the app can expand as needed in an ever-evolving enterprise.
