Experts within Boeing relied on the IDS team to rapidly develop a software simulation of the expected capabilities of a proposed communications satellite as part of the final bid process. The working demonstration showed the potential of a satellite-to-ground communications system for a geographically widespread network of key individuals.
The result was that IDS was able to develop a dynamic and engaging demonstration that was orchestrated to accommodate a large number of government reviewers. The demonstration centered on elucidating the innovative features and real-world applications of the proposed satellite system, emphasizing its potential to revolutionize communication infrastructure.
Business Challenges
Boeing was faced with a looming deadline and stiff competition as part of the bidding process. In order to better showcase its technical capability, Boeing requested IDS to develop a complex demonstration within a very short window of time that would “wow” potential stakeholders and buyers. Further, IDS would be responsible for the security of all proposal documentation following government security level standards.
Transformation
Integrated Digital Solutions collaborated to recommend and build a fully working ground-based communications network that would simulate satellite communications. The solution would require the seamless switching of communications between multiple networks and a graphical user interface that would facilitate communications between operators.
Time to Target
IDS delivered a demonstration in a quicker and a better than expected timeframe, allowing Boeing to focus on other presentation areas.
Efficiency
IDS reduced the security risk by eliminating all paperwork from the proposal phase. IDS prepared 500 secure laptops for participants to view bid documentation.
Confidence Factor
IDS boosted confidence of buyers who were able to visualize how the system was expected to work and to have a hands-on demonstration of proposed capabilities.
