LGS Software Solutions Team Designs Custom Viewer that Improves Management of Military Digital Engineering Data

VIENNA, Va. – LGS, a subsidiary of Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) dedicated to serving the U.S. government community, announced today that the Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) has successfully deployed a custom-designed LGS desktop application for 230,000 users.

The LGS application, called the LT Viewer, allows desktop users to easily view and manage digital engineering data. The LT Viewer is now used by more than 400,000 government users and is available for purchase through the GSA Schedule as a site or enterprise-wide license.

LT Viewer is a simple desktop application that specializes in viewing and managing raster files, a graphic image file that includes formats such as JEDMICS C4, TIFF, and CALS. The LT Viewer allows viewing of other file formats such as PDF, Word or Excel by launching third-party applications. This gives government users the ability to easily toggle between custom graphic programs and standard off-the-shelf software programs. In addition, LT Viewer enables users to open several graphics files at the same time and then manage them individually.

The LGS Custom Software & Video Solutions team worked closely with the Navy to manage the timed software deployment and assisted with LT Viewer distribution to users outside of the NMCI network. LGS will continue to work with the Navy to support and manage the software.

The LGS Custom Software & Video Solutions team has designed, developed, implemented, integrated and maintained custom software applications to meet specific government needs for more than 20 years. Those applications include an aperture card analysis and support system and a personnel decision support system. The systems it has worked with range for those serving a few users to hundreds of users. LGS has extensive technical experience integrating proprietary government solutions and off-the-shelf database solutions.
