SENEDIA Member Profile

IDM Solutions was founded with a clear mission: to create bespoke analytic and AI/ML solutions that extract actionable insights from enterprise data. Initially, we expanded our focus beyond the Department of Defense (DoD), engaging sectors like agriculture, healthcare, and retail. This period was crucial for learning how to build a robust business foundation, extract and conceptualize use cases that directly benefit client revenue, and develop AI solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing tech ecosystems and meet end-user goals.

 

After establishing these foundational capabilities, IDM Solutions refocused on the DoD, applying our learned business acumen to enhance our service offerings. We leverage over 15 years of experience in both tactical-level code and analysis development and strategic-level operations across the Naval enterprise, including collaborations with OPNAV, UWDC, and NUWC to bring value across the entire enterprise.

 

Today, we maintain trusted relationships within the US Navy and Defense Threat Reduction Agency and several system integrators. We are committed to developing multi year data strategies and technology roadmaps, guiding the evolution from current paper-based organizations to efficient, data-centric organizational structures. Our portfolio includes advanced AI solutions—from NLP to predictive analytics to computer vision—as well as innovative tools for document and knowledge management that standardize processes, centralize data storage, and reduce operational inefficiencies.

IDM Solutions is a premier data science consulting company specializing in AI and data-driven strategies tailored specifically to enhance operational and strategic capabilities within the defense sector. At IDM Solutions, we are dedicated to transforming complex data into actionable insights that empower the warfighter and optimize mission success.

SENEDIA Hosted Defense Manufacturing Events


SENEDIA hosted two separate defense manufacturing events for high school students across Connecticut and Rhode Island. On April 29, SENEDIA, along with General Dynamics Electric Boat, and Project MFG hosted the Project MFG Connecticut Maritime Welding Event at Ella T. Grasso Technical High School in Groton, CT. Attended by over 150 students, the event connected these students with the career opportunities in the submarine shipbuilding and defense manufacturing industry of New England. Additionally, a welding competition had 24 contestants from Connecticut and Rhode Island, with Lucas Ubrowicz from Grasso Tech taking the top prize. The following week, on May 6, SENEDIA hosted the Project MFG Rhode Island Maritime Welding Event at the Providence Career and Technical Academy (PCTA). With almost 200 students, the event saw 19 students receive employment offers that day. The winner of the Rhode Island welding competition was Alexis Lozada from PCTA.
