Ramco Aviation suite will replace multiple legacy systems to deliver one integrated and unified view of engineering operations to Cobham Aviation Services, worldwide.

Mr. Peter Brown, General Manager, Engineering Cobham Aviation Services, said, “We have selected Ramco’s Aviation suite package to capitalise on best practice engineering management approaches as we transform our engineering organisation.  Ramco offered us a solution that is scalable and provides our team with a high quality user experience; both these aspects are of fundamental importance to us to drive usability and manage the change in an organisation as diverse and dispersed as ours.”

Our ability to offer the postmodern web-based system with in-built mobility and a plethora of business improvement driven innovations like Straight Through Processing and intuitive User Experience through Ramco HUB immensely helped seal the deal. This is a strategic break-through for us which will give a boost to our focus on specialist aviation service establishments, many of which grapple with legacy applications and can benefit from postmodern systems.”
