SAS Tech takes a grip on component data for increased air safety with help from ComActivity

SAS Tech takes a grip on aircraft component data to speed up service times at replacement of aircraft components by developing a new SOA-based component data system, and web based goods receiving portal from ComActivity.

When replacing components in an aircraft, the information about installed components must be correct before the plane gets permission to take off. Receiving component data and handling the components themselves at installation / removal, in inventory and during goods receiving must be done quickly and effectively to reduce aircraft downtime. The amount of information per component is comprehensive and effective management provides higher efficiency and quality gains. - After an evaluation and feasibility study, we chose ComActivity as a supplier of the new solution. With their industry knowledge and its SOA-based platform ComActivity could deliver an efficient high quality solution that integrates both SAS Tech with customers and suppliers and our ERP-system M3/Movex, says Göran Bråland, CIO, SAS Tech. - ComActivity could deliver more benefits in both people and technology than any competing alternative. With an operation that has exceptional demands on safety, precision, punctuality, and not least quality - SAS Tech must put the same demands on systems and suppliers, continues Göran Bråland. - ComActivity Business Process Platform is a highly competent and flexible platform for developing streamlined business processes and business applications, says Magnus Grönvik, Vice President Sales and Marketing at ComActivity. The majority of ComActivity’s employees have many years of experience in development of enterprise systems and several of them have been in charge of the development of Movex. - Our customers feel that ComActivity can deliver user-friendly solutions that are easy to change and that provide significant benefit directly. They have previously felt locked into their current older business systems which are often difficult and expensive to make changes to, and where it is doubtful whether it is profitable to make a business change, Magnus Grönvik continues. The basic thesis of ComActivitys solution-oriented model is that: Business Solutions should give users what they want when they want it. Business Solutions should not be based on other people’s requirements. The solution should be delivered in the way the customer wants it. Too much is counter-productive and too little is insufficient. Only balanced functions with high flexibility is "perfect". The project is run by SAS Tech, ComActivity and SAS Techs IT supplier CSC. The project was started June 3 and the solution is scheduled to be operational 1 October 2009.
