Tiptree, U.K. – Commsoft, developers of OASES, will be officially celebrating the 40th anniversary of this MRO IT system at this year’s OASES user group being held at London Heathrow March 1-2, 2016.
Founded as a software company in 1971, Communications Software (Airline Systems) Ltd. won its first airline contract in 1975 with industry innovator Laker Airways in the UK, leading to the launch of the predecessor to OASES (Open Aviation Strategic Engineering System) the following year. Since then, Commsoft has been continually developing its MRO IT system, now called OASES – a process that has been shaped in large part by feedback from its User Group clients.
OASES allows for scalability in a modular format. At the heart of the OASES system is the core module that enables operation and integration of the OASES functional modules – continuing airworthiness, planning, production, line maintenance, material management, commercial management and warranty – any or all of which can be added depending on the client’s requirements.
The success of OASES is reflected in the 65 current contracts that Commsoft has won worldwide, more than doubling its customer base in the last seven years. In 2015 alone, the maintenance of more than 100 additional aircraft was entrusted to the system. Today, the OASES community includes more than 90 aviation customers around the world, ranging from national carriers and large third-party maintenance providers to small independent operators.
The introduction of the OASES Private Cloud has brought the system to smaller clients without the need to make a major investment in new hardware.
Launch of the first OASES mobile apps allows information to be accessed anywhere, anytime and is a result of frequent customer community exchanges and detailed analysis of service requests in the web-based OASES Servicedesk.
