Melbourne-based defence and civil aviation software technology firm, Ocean Software, and Brussels-based defence logistics software firm, ILIAS Solutions, have joined forces to offer their integrated capabilities across the defence aerospace sector.
The integration of Ocean’s FlightPRO operations management system and ILIAS’s logistics suite will deliver a 'seamless user experience', providing customers with a unified operations and logistics solution to maximise fleet performance and operational readiness.
“Teaming with ILIAS Solutions will allow both companies to bring greater efficiency to the market, bringing together two best-of-breed software tools that will benefit further from integration," Ocean Software’s CEO, Shaun Mitchell, said.
“Next generation aircraft require closely integrated operations and logistics efforts to optimise fleet performance," Jean-Pierre Wildschut, Managing Director ILIAS Solutions, added. "Our partnership with Ocean Software enables us to deliver a common operational and logistics picture to our customers. This assures logistics professionals are always aware of current and future operational demands and ready to take the next best action to support the mission.
“Growing the integrated operations capability fits perfectly into the ILIAS product portfolio delivering an end-to-end solution while delivering mobile and deployed capability like IHUMS, Guide and DCM."
Mitchell further added that, “Like ILIAS Solutions, we employ many ex-military staff, who inherently understand the problem and speak our customers’ language. We work closely with the chain of command and partner with the user communities to take an active role in developing tools that are a better fit for them and ultimately benefit the organisation as well.”
