The Queen's Award for Enterprise: Innovation 2018

Software and information services company tlmNexus has been recognised with a Queen's Award for its development of a range of innovative Defence-focused software and services.

Through its ability to integrate data from a multitude of existing environments, its best-known software solution, Resolve, is able to present a single point of reference for those involved in managing equipment safety in the air environment.

Previously, data relating to platform safety and system integrity was kept on numerous separate systems. Collating the required information to support airworthiness approval was complex, time-consuming, and had potential for errors. Originally designed to help delivery teams manage the continuing airworthiness of the Typhoon aircraft platform, Resolve represents a significant step forward in the management of equipment safety and system integrity.

The solution provides a framework for the reporting and management of issues from the front-line to the factory and a secure, auditable trail of information. Since the Award, Resolve has been developed to encompass the digital transformation of many further equipment management processes, and is used in nearly every aircraft across the UK’s military aircraft fleet.

As well as Resolve, the company has developed effective software foundations which similarly link all stakeholders involved in other aspects of long-term projects. These foundations cover Requirements Management, Through-Life Budgeting and Business Cases, and Mission Quality Feedback.
