Expert Insights: A Conversation with Mike Ellis
To understand the impact of ONeSOURCE, we spoke with Mike Ellis, Senior Program Manager at ONEIL, who has overseen the development and deployment of the solution across multiple defense programs.
Q: What was the vision behind the ONeSOURCE S1000D IETP Viewer?
Mike Ellis: The ONeSOURCE S1000D IETP Viewer’s vision is to deliver streamlined maintenance operations and significant cost savings through a centralized source of technical documentation – built upon Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)-funded innovation.
Q: How does the viewer impact defense operations?
Mike Ellis: The ONeSOURCE S1000D IETP Viewer makes a real difference in defense operations as it helps reduce staff time, improves data accuracy, and ensures everyone has access to the critical information they need. By simplifying workflows and moving away from those old paper manuals, it empowers maintainers to take more control of their work and contribute even better to operational readiness.
Q: Are there any upcoming enhancements you’re excited about?
Mike Ellis: I’m really excited about what’s coming with continued development; we’re focused on making it even easier to connect with maintenance management systems and improving how quickly technicians can find exactly what they need. We’ll keep building on the viewer’s strengths, always adapting to meet evolving defense operational needs.
Q: What advice do you have for organizations adopting advanced technical documentation solutions?
Mike Ellis: When organizations are looking at advanced technical documentation solutions, I always start by asking them – what’s really causing you trouble when it comes to finding information? Then, make sure your technicians have the training they need to confidently access and utilize the system. And honestly, don’t just think about having manuals; think about creating a single place where everyone can find what they need to do their jobs better – ultimately supporting operational readiness.
Real-World Success Stories
The ONeSOURCE S1000D IETP Viewer isn’t just theoretical—it’s delivering measurable results:
