Make informed decisions. Anticipate challenges. Understand how operational environments could evolve. Predictive analytics help LMI clients do all of these things. Our analytical talent and tools lead the way in showing customers the potential of their data to support mission objectives and yield business results. And we’re not doing it alone. Thanks to collaborative initiatives like LMI Ventures, we leverage an ever-growing network of partners to position our customers for the best data-driven outcomes.

Bringing the Innovations of Startups to Government’s Most Complex Problems

Launched in February 2019, LMI Ventures fosters formal, exclusive partnerships with entrepreneurs whose technologies have the potential to profoundly benefit federal agencies and their missions. It’s a great example of LMI’s commitment to cutting-edge solutions that may not be readily available through traditional procurement.

“Pursuing government business can be a daunting and often resource-intensive endeavor for many startups,” said Ian Folau, principal of LMI Ventures. “As a long-respected government solutions provider, LMI is an ideal partner to help these companies establish federal-sector relationships.”

Leveraging a network that includes academic research and development centers, startup incubators and accelerators, and other venture capital firms, LMI Ventures works with both early- and late-stage startups. “We can help the client utilize not only that technology but help the client understand what that technology opens up for them to do next,” Folau told Washington Technology.

LMI Acquires Clockwork Solutions, Expands Predictive Analytics Capabilities

In November 2019, LMI acquired Clockwork Solutions, a predictive analytics software platform to optimize performance, utilization, and return on investment for critical enterprise assets. The acquisition expands LMI’s Advanced Analytics service offerings as the company continues to invest in its asset performance management capabilities.

“The acquisition of Clockwork Solutions enables us to expand our offerings in the growing areas of predictive maintenance and asset performance management, allowing our customers to get the most value possible out of their critical equipment.”

MADW™ Recognized as Industry Innovator

The Maintenance and Availability Data Warehouse (MADW™) contains availability, cost, inventory and transactional data on nearly every Department of Defense (DoD) weapons system and readiness-reportable piece of equipment. In all, it includes more than one billion maintenance records from 46 authoritative data systems. And this sophisticated, pioneering solution is the direct result of a strategic partnership between LMI Ventures and Immuta, which provided its Automated Data Governance Platform.

Designed to assess the effect of corrosion on the cost and availability of weapons systems, MADW™ is capable of answering virtually any historical question concerning maintenance cost or availability.

With three service lines and eight sub-service lines contributing, the MADW™ project illustrates how LMI’s matrixed service model has strengthened solutions development and client delivery in ways that foster teamwork, information sharing and collaboration. LMI’s comprehensive support includes data curation and verification, digital services, dashboard development and website teams.

“MADW™ has enabled DoD to build a common sustainment ontology to measure and communicate the health of our weapons systems to all stakeholders—the Office of the Secretary of Defense, military service branches, Congress and the executive branch, and our defense industry partners,” said Dee Reardon, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics and DoD’s logistics reform lead. “The LMI team proved critical in turning this initiative into reality and delivering an immediately usable product. LMI’s expertise and commitment helped the Department achieve the desired result in record time.”

MADW™ was awarded Washington Technology’s 2019 Industry Innovator Award in recognition of their vital role in discovery and innovation for the government IT community.
