Mobomo, LLC is honored to be awarded the SeaPort Next Generation (SeaPort NxG) contract with the Department of the Navy. The Department of the Navy was looking for a contractor that could provide services in two key areas that incorporated 23 sub-categories. Mobomo bid under both of the two key categories presented which were Engineering Services and Program Management Services.

There were two main factors that led to our success with this contract. First, we have a team of award-winning experts that have expansive experience inboth service categories. Secondly, we have previously developed a mobile app for the Navy Office of Information as well as developed a new web portalfor the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command. Between the overall services we have offered and our strong performance on these two past contracts, we were able to secure the Seaport NxG contract.

This contract is a huge opportunity for our company as the task orders that will be issued could span across the following departments: the Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, Military Sealift Command, Naval Facilities Systems Command, Office of Naval Research, Naval Air Systems Command, Strategic Systems Programs, or the United States Marine Corps.

More about these projects:  

NOAA Fisheries:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Fisheries, also known as the NOAA National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), is a federal agency responsible for the stewardship of the nation’s ocean resources and their habitat. Their services include: conservation and management of U.S. waters to promote prevention of overfishing, declining species, and degraded habitats. NOAA Fisheries manages five coastal regions broken down by department, fisheries management, science centers, and labs. Each office ran their own independent site creating inconsistency and overlap in content and design as each isolated digital property.

Mobomo partnered with NOAA Fisheries to assist in restructuring and redesigning their digital presence. Merging all their core web properties into one Drupal site allowed users to go to one destination to find and discover information they need. Mobomo focused on improving content efficiency, design consistency, and unifying NOAA Fisheries voice. Mobomo followed a user-centered approach that consisted of discovery, research, design, and validation phases to deliver a comprehensive, documented and validated user-centered design and information architecture that unified the 16 previously disparate web properties into one site.

Within one year, we launched the framework for their next generation site.

The NOAA Fisheries site is more than a conveyor of marine life information and research. It offers a large variety of information; from summaries of upcoming rules, permits, funding opportunities, to various types of helpful resources. Each section had its own challenges for the Mobomo team to learn and develop automated solutions around. The goal was to automate and simplify the content for users to locate, as well as for editors to post and manage.

 

The PRAC:

In 2020 the Coronavirus reached the United States calling for the development and passing of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act). To help inform the public of the spending provided by the CARES Act, the PRAC (Pandemic Response Accountability Committee) and Mobomo teams launched PandemicOversight.gov. The overarching goal of this site is to promote transparency for the government’s spending in response to COVID-19 by displaying the details of who received the $2.6 trillion relief and how they will be spending it. The site also provides helpful resources for reporting fraud and funding abuse.

Mobomo’s objective was to redesign, develop and deploy a new website for the PRAC built using a Drupal content management system (CMS) and deployed into the Microsoft Azure cloud. The website needed to support displaying interactive graphics for showcasing Coronavirus relief funding, as well as various government reports surrounding pandemic response and instances of fraud, abuse and mismanagement of relief funding. Due to resource circumstances, the new website had only a 5-week timeframe for redesign, develop and deployment of the new website.

Within the tight turnaround, Mobomo successfully launched the new site. The layout was designed using Mobomo’s human-centered design process. This resulted in a modern and clean look that is easy for viewers to use and understand the data and funding information provided.

• Read more about The USO Wins Silver Davey Award

Mobomo is honored to announce that the USO's mobile application has won a Silver Davey Award!

“David defeated the giant Goliath with a big idea and a little rock – the sort of thing small agencies do each year. The annual International Davey Awards honors the achievements of the “Creative Davids” who derive their strength from big ideas, rather than stratospheric budgets.”

Mobomo was able to recognize the USO and the mobile application that we partnered with them to create.  This application fosters greater discoverability of locations where USO provides services and programs offered by the USO through its distributed locations and online.  Prior to discovery, USO was seeking to design, develop, and deploy a cross-platform mobile application that introduced an additional channel for United States military service members and their families to better engage with USO centers and programs.  Currently, there are 200+ USO locations that all create their own content. We were able to pull the CMS data and integrate it into the app so that the service member receives the content from the service center that they are physically at or that is most adjacent to them.

This mobile application launched in the spring of 2017 as part of a series of deployments on a fixed schedule starting with a limited beta release to 15 USO centers.

About the USO

The United Service Organizations or better known as the USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. USO, a private, nonprofit organization, serves the men and women in the U.S. military and their families throughout their service – from the moment they join, through their deployments and as they transition back to their communities. Over time, the USO has become the vital bridge between Americans and their military service members. The USO provides programs, entertainment and services at more than 180 USO locations and hundreds of other military sites worldwide, including Afghanistan, Kuwait, United Arab Emirates, Germany, Italy, Japan, Guam, South Korea, Djibouti and the United States.

• Read more about Intridea Places Among The 500 Fastest Growing Companies In America

Four years ago, what started as a team of three people with a conviction to create an agile, modern web development company has evolved into one the largest and most successful Rails development shops in the country. Today we are a strong team comprised of nearly 50 developers, project managers, QA engineers, and innovators. Making the Inc. 500 list is an honor; it is satisfying to rank as one of the fastest growing companies in America!

Inc. lists us at #335 in the top 500 list, and places us at #33 for our industry and location. This means that we are the 33rd fastest growing privately-held software company in the United States! See our full Inc 500 profile here.

Inc. 500

What does it mean to be an Inc. 500 company? Jane Berentson, Editor for Inc. Magazine explains:

“The list debuted in 1981 as a ranking of the 100 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. The following year, it expanded to the Inc. 500 and, in 2007, we inaugurated the Inc. 5000. Through each evolution, Inc. has sought to recognize and to celebrate the creativity, dedication, and hard work that entrepreneurs put into building their companies.”

Many of America’s most iconic companies have graced the Inc 500 list including Microsoft, Oracle, Zappos, Patagonia, E*Trade, Intuit and many others. We are honored to share Inc 500 status with such an elite group of successful companies that went on to revolutionize their own industries. See our statistics from Inc. 500 below:

Thanking the Academy

We are thankful to our talented and fiercely dedicated team, the hundreds of clients whom we have created lasting relationships with, and the Ruby and Rails communities. Despite the relative infancy of the language and framework, the demand for Rails development has been extraordinarily high. As a result, we have been able to thrive even in a declining economy.

The Rails ecosystem is made up of hearty and enterprising engineers who are continually creating open source plugins and gems, documentation, and patches, ensuring that we can all have a future working with the language that is beloved to us. The community is a beautiful reflection of our collective desires to pioneer the web application development landscape. If you look at the advancements that have been made in just a few short years, you’d think that Rails developers don’t sleep. In fact, we’re not sure they do.

What’s Next?

Our path to growth, though rewarding and thrilling, has not been effortless. In four years we’ve worked day and night to stay on top of things and to breathe life into our vision. It’s nice to be one of the 500 fastest growing companies in America, but it doesn’t change anything for us – every day we each still sit down and write the best code we can, deliver the most elegant solutions to our clients, learn everything we can in the process, and give back to the community that we are a part of. So what is next? More satisfied clients, well-implemented web solutions, happy engineers, and more open source contributions. Our work is fun and rewarding, and that’s what it’s really all about.
