Ovitas Will Deploy COTS Software for the Next Generation Marine Corps Enterprise Data Repository (MCLEDR). The project will improve delivery of up to date equipment maintenance and operations information to Marines in the field.Woburn, MA (PRWEB) March 9, 2005 -- The Marine Corps is updating the way it authors, manages and delivers technical information to personnel in the field. After extensive analysis by the Marine Corps Systems Command in 2004, a team consisting of Ovitas, Inc. and partners empolis/Arvato Systems was selected to pilot the Marine Corps Logistics Enterprise Data Repository (MCLEDR). The team is deploying a suite of cost-effective COTS products built on modern IT standards and based on the create once, use many principle for technical information. The solution is truly end-to-end, with capabilities for managing the entire content lifecycle, from data import and collaborative authoring through electronic distribution. The MCLEDR pilot will be built using the empolis Sigmalink content management system for workflow automation, version control and data security. Sigmalink will publish data to an Intelligent Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) that incorporates the empolis orenge intelligent search engine. Ovitas is providing system design, configuration and implementation expertise to the project, which is underway and scheduled to be completed by mid-summer.The intent of the system is to assist the warfighter with improved technical information for maintenance, repair, and operation of equipment. The data within MCLEDR provides information on the parts required, special tools, and procedures. This will assist the field commander with predictive maintenance planning, as well as provide up to date instructions for equipment operators and maintenance technicians.Sigmalink applies version control and security not only to documents but fragments of information such as individual repair tasks and warnings that are defined by SGML or XML tags. These can be combined into publications that are personalized by skill set and equipment configuration, for example. The IETM delivers this data as well as legacy documents, often available only in unstructured file formats such as PDF. The intelligent search component helps the users find precise information even within legacy data.
