HCL AXON has announced that Jet Aviation has selected HCL AXON's proprietary maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution, iMRO, to optimize the management of MRO operations within their existing installations of SAP solutions. In addition to Jet Aviation, three other global aerospace and defense organizations have chosen HCL AXON's iMRO solution to address their MRO needs.

Jet Aviation, a long time user of SAP solutions, is in the process of upgrading and enhancing its SAP solution-based footprint. The goal of this project is to better support cabin completion complex project management, MRO operations, and shop-floor usability.

"iMRO will provide enhanced usability features that will allow us to further optimize the use of our SAP solution," explained Andreas Haller, director of IT Solutions for Jet Aviation. "This, combined with the increased functions available in SAP ERP 6.0, will help ensure we have a strong IT platform to move our business forward."

"HCL AXON is fully committed to deploying a first-class iMRO solution for our aerospace and defense industry customers, whether they are existing or new SAP clients," said Ian Greenhalgh, executive vice president of Sales and Marketing at HCL AXON. "Jet Aviation's decision to work with HCL AXON speaks volumes about the capability of the platform and demonstrates that iMRO is the solution for organizations that face complex maintenance challenges. We look forward to helping them reach their MRO transformation goals."

HCL AXON introduced iMRO in 2008 as an industry solution add-on to the SAP ERP application for aviation and aerospace organizations. iMRO expands and enhances SAP maintenance capabilities with specialist tools and functionality for users such as maintenance technicians, planners and engineers to improve productivity, data accuracy and to cut down the unexpected process variations normally encountered by complex asset maintenance businesses.

Today's announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® 2009, being held here May 11-14, where HCL AXON is exhibiting in booth 945.
