for Maintenance and Materials Management
La Jolla, CA – January 12, 2006
Miro Technologies announced today that SriLankan Airlines has selected the Miro
AuRA™ software suite to replace the legacy system in use at SriLankan today. In an
initiative to modernize its IT systems for Maintenance and Materials Management,
SriLankan will take delivery of an enterprise-wide AuRA solution consisting of the
Enterprise Management and Business Intelligence modules, as well as modules for
Maintenance, Engineering and Materials Management.
"SriLankan had a need to update its maintenance IT systems to streamline its Maintenance
& Engineering processes. AuRA offered the functionality and well designed implementation
methodology to meet this requirement," said Kamal Nanayakkara, Head of IT at SriLankan.
"The introduction of AuRA will significantly strengthen the ability of SriLankan to achieve the
highest level of safety and reliability at reasonable costs, and to maintain its commitment to
high quality service," said Capt. Richard (Dick) Hutton, Chief Technical Officer of SriLankan

"Miro is pleased to be working with SriLankan to enhance their maintenance and materials
management capabilities using Miro's AuRA software," said Vincent Monteparte, Miro's President.

"Best Airline" in the Central Asia / Subcontinent region for four consecutive years, "Best Airline
in South Asia" for three consecutive times, "World's Friendliest Cabin Crew," First Runner-Up for
