Best-of-Breed or ERP?
It may be evident that modern maintenance management software platforms allow organization personnel to perform day-to-day functions in a computerized environment. Best-of-breed applications such as RAAS are designed to replace traditional forms-based and paper-based workflows. By design, best-of-breed applications are tailored to the industry they serve. In comparison, ERPs are not commonly born of the industry they serve, meaning most ERPs typically lack functionalities of best-of-breed applications. The benefit of a best-of-breed application is multifaceted including built-in workflows, a more robust and practical user interface and, most importantly, an inherent collection of large amounts of discrete data that is highly valuable to fleet operators and aircraft maintainers.
Leveraging Best of Breed Software
The mass of data RAAS collects through day-to-day user activity creates opportunities for advanced data mining and analytics, providing organizations with methods of evaluating business efficiency and identifying areas for business improvements. Unique in the industry, AIS believes data in a customer database is the property of the customer, and we support and promote data mining direct to customer RAAS databases to support customer-specific data analysis and data visualizations.
Getting More With Collection Of Discrete Data and Paperless Workflows
It’s no surprise that most business decisions rely on structured and accurate data to make business decisions. In an industry such as aviation, oversight of data collected on aircraft has never been more valuable. In the past, data collection on aircraft has been carried out using paper-based methods. The use of paper-based data collection creates large amounts of overhead while reducing the overall visibility of the data collected.
The adoption of paperless workflows provides fleet operators and aircraft maintainers a leg up over competitors using paper-based data collection. Operators can leverage the data collected on an aircraft to reduce risk, maximize efficiency, and maintain complete oversight of an aircraft fleet at a single glance. While best-of-breed software like RAAS has predefined data collection methods, it also enables an organization to customize data visualizations based on the needs of the organization.
