Press Release
Cargo360 selects AuRA™ ASP solution from MainTrack
La Jolla, CA – July 6, 2005
Seattle-based start-up airline Cargo360 has selected MainTrack’s
Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) solution based on the AuRA™
software from MIRO Technologies, a leading provider of enterprise
MRO and logistics support software for the defense and commercial
aerospace markets. AuRA will be delivered as a Managed Service by
MainTrack Services B.V. (MainTrack), the Application Service Provider
(ASP) who has teamed with MIRO and T-Systems as the host provider.
“MainTrack’s ASP is the perfect solution to support
an entry-into-service start-up airline like ours,” said B.J.
Smith, Cargo360’s SVP - OPS. “The simplicity of accessing
AuRA over the Internet truly lends itself to the active control
of on-going worldwide operations,” he continued. “AuRA
will help us ensure the highest levels of safety and operational
excellence by allowing us to exercise tight control over our engineering
and maintenance activities; it provides us with the metrics necessary
to better serve our customers while controlling costs as we continue
to expand.” Smith added, “From a business perspective,
the MainTrack ASP model just makes sense; you get access to world-class
IT systems like AuRA, without the cash flow burden associated with
software licenses, servers, or internal IT infrastructure costs.
MainTrack takes care of IT integration complexities for us; this
allows us to concentrate on our core business functions.”
“We are delighted to welcome Cargo360 to the MainTrack ASP
community,” stated Robert Kok, joint Managing Partner and
co-founder of the MainTrack Group. “We are happy to see the
trend for airlines to outsource their IT applications catch on and
Cargo360 joining big names like Embraer, who already use the MainTrack
ASP.”
AuRA is a fully integrated maintenance and supply solution specifically
designed for the commercial MRO market. AuRA streamlines aviation
business processes and tackles some of the most complex challenges
facing maintenance operations, such as configuration management,
thus helping airline operators to improve productivity, reduce costs
and turn-times and enable better decision-making.
