AuRA™ enterprise M & E solution moves forward at SAS Group

MRO system project implementation planning and roll-out follows completion of successful proof-of-concept

La Jolla, CA – February 8, 2005

MIRO Technologies Inc., a leading aviation Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul software company, announced today that an enterprise AuRA solution for SAS Group is now moving to the final system project planning and implementation phase for Scandinavian Airlines. This news follows the successful completion of an AuRA proof-of-concept in Stockholm. Based on the enterprise deal, all other SAS Group subsidiary airlines, third-party airlines and affiliates, will have the opportunity to benefit from AuRA implementations in subsequent phases.

Ulf Nystrom, head of Technical Operations at Scandinavian Airlines said, “The AuRA implementation will give us the powerful system we need to strengthen our maintenance and engineering operations and substantially improve efficiency and lower costs.” He added, “This new MRO system solution will save us millions of dollars annually in systems operations and maintenance.” Nystrom noted that about 15% of the projected savings can be attributed to the operation and administration of the old legacy MRO system being replaced.

“The addition of SAS Group to our growing list of AuRA users is important to MIRO and our customer community as well,” stated Vincent Monteparte, president of MIRO Technologies. “We will be enhancing AuRA to meet Scandinavian’s requirements, which will ultimately benefit all AuRA users,” he continued.

The initial scope of the project will implement an AuRA solution for Scandinavian Airlines for JAR OPS1 (M) activity that includes engineering management, technical records, maintenance control, maintenance planning and work package management. Future phases of the project will extend the scope of the project to seamlessly integrate JAR145 functions within SAS Technical Services (STS), a subsidiary of SAS Group and the leading Nordic supplier of full-service MRO with 3,800 employees. STS will leverage the AuRA technology as parts of its engineering services offering to its airline customers.
