Engineering at Altitude: How Lockheed Martin Streamlined Complex Training Across Critical Systems
Lockheed Martin used Apty to modernize onboarding and reduce support load across 5,000 users working in complex platforms like 3DX, Jira, and Apriso.
The Challenge:
In aerospace, even small errors can escalate into mission-critical failures. Lockheed Martin’s engineers rely on technical systems that demand speed, precision, and zero guesswork. But these tools were difficult to learn, time-consuming to navigate, and constantly changing.
New engineers faced steep learning curves. Training teams couldn’t keep pace with updates. And support queues were overloaded with basic usage queries. All this added up to a serious drag on engineering productivity—and a threat to delivery timelines.
The Apty Shift:
Lockheed Martin chose Apty to bring precision to adoption across engineering workflows. Apty enabled them to:
- Embed guidance into 5+ complex platforms (e.g., 3DX, Apriso, Empower)
- Create validation rules for compliance-critical steps
- Accelerate onboarding and reduce reliance on tribal knowledge
- Capture process expertise and preserve institutional knowledge
The Outcomes:
- Reduced onboarding time across engineering roles
- More consistent process execution across teams
- Better adoption of system updates without retraining cycles
- Knowledge retention across generations of engineers
- Increased productivity across design and manufacturing pipelines
”By giving contextual support inside our technical applications, Apty allowed our experts to spend more time innovating—and less time wrestling with interfaces.
