eSOLLIMS is the mobile application for the Stability Operations Lessons Learned Information Management System*(SOLLIMS). It was developed to allow users to access SOLLIMS content and capture Lessons Learned on their mobile device. To get maximum use from the eSOLLIMS app, individuals should already have a SOLLIMS user account. This application was built to view and capture content not only while connected to the internet but also when no connectivity is available. Creating and storing Lesson Learned and other SOLLIMS content on your mobile device while in the offline mode caches content to your mobile device. The cached content is then uploaded to the SOLLIMS master database upon establishing internet connection and signing on to eSOLLIMS.
*SOLLIMS is a US Army War College, Peacekeeping and Stability Operations Institute (PKSOI) initiative that provides both a collaborative, Knowledge Management environment for the global Peace and Stability Operations (P/SO) community, as well as an online repository/ structured database containing Peace and Stability Operations (P/SO) related Observations, Lessons, and Insights. To register for a SOLLIMS user account go to https://sollims.pksoi.org. SOLLIMS is intended to focus at the Strategic Theater / Strategic National and Operational levels. Authorized users may submit Tactical level observations/ issues, however the author may be asked to resubmit by the SOLLIMS Program Manager at PKSOI to discuss/ present the observation / issue at a higher level.
SOLLIMS provides many traditional ‘lessons learned’ functionalities – O-D-R format: Observation-Discussion-Recommendation; as well as a unique method for tagging and cataloging information with tailored P/SO meta-tags to facilitate more focused data search and retrieval. SOLLIMS supports online data collection and searching from any location with access to the World Wide Web / Internet. SOLLIMS is implemented as an “open access” site in that it is accessible to the US DoD community as well as civilian Interagency members and representatives from the multi-national P/SO community – without the need for special access cards or certifications.
