Helicopters to ply on Cloud for Ramco

CHENNAI, INDIA: Ramco Systems has announced the launch of its mobile-enabled software-Ramco Aviation on Cloud-for the Heli-operator segment at the HELI-EXPO 2013,a global show for Heli-operators. Ramco has been a leading provider of MRO and M&E software for the heli-operator segment, and with the launch of a cloud version, will be able to offer customers delivery options that best fit their needs, as an announcement explained..

The newly launched cloud offering will address the unique needs of small operators/ MROs in the Heli-operator segment, which hitherto, had to either run on disparate point solutions or manually on paper/excel; it adds. The only other option available was an on-premise Aviation MRO software that was high on cost, required maintenance, frequent upgrades and was built to address large and complex environments.

P. R. Venketrama Raja, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Ramco Systems, said "Helicopter companies and MROs addressing the Heli-operator segment, whether large or small, constantly face operational hurdles such as increased aircraft downtimes, stringent regulatory compliance, disparate IT systems and unmanageable supply chain among others."

Virender Aggarwal, CEO, Ramco Systems, added "Heli-operator is a key focus segment for us and we have been growing rapidly by adding some of the leading names in the industry. 80 per cent of the market today consists of small operators. Most of them operate from excel sheets and do not have an integrated M&E/MRO software, as they cannot afford the traditional system. With Ramco Aviation on Cloud, we will be addressing this underserved market segment, and we look forward to expanding our leadership position, globally."
