AuRA™ Now Available as an Application Service Provider (ASP)

La Jolla, CA — August 25, 2003

MIRO Technologies and MainTrack Services BV (MTS) have teamed with T-Systems to make the AuRA™ Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) software solution available as an Application Service Provider (ASP). The service already has five launch customers that include regional airlines and third-party MRO facilities. The first customer, EQM Airlines based in the Netherlands is already into the implementation phase.

"This is an important step in MIRO's developing business strategy," said Vincent Monteparte, President of MIRO Technologies San Diego. "AuRA now becomes accessible and affordable to a new and growing segment of the aviation market, who right now have a limited choice of very small and out-dated IT systems. We have strong partners in MainTrack and T-Systems and the early interest in the ASP option has been extremely encouraging. AuRA is a fully integrated software solution, covering all aspects of maintenance and supply for airlines and third-party maintenance providers. AuRA helps streamline aviation business processes and tackles some of the most complex challenges facing maintenance operations. Our software is completely customizable and can be tailored to meet most organizational requirements."

Robert Kok, Managing Partner and one of the founders of MainTrack said, "This offering to the airline market is ground-breaking. Our strategy is to offer virtually everything an airline needs from an IT perspective, from MRO to reservations, finance, operations, crewing, check-in and more. With T-Systems, we now offer all these services for a flat monthly fee, with minimum, one-time set-up cost. Companies who could not afford the capital investment for a state-of-the-art MRO solution can now access the same systems used by the larger airlines without a large capital investment. It is a WIN-WIN situation for all parties. We take care of the technology, IT management and support tasks and let the airline and maintenance facilities focus on what they do best – managing the airline."

"We selected MIRO Technologies after an exhaustive evaluation of all the available aviation MRO software packages. Having discounted older packages and ones that lacked the breadth and depth of AuRA. MIRO Technologies offered us significant advantages in technology, functional richness, and company strength and stability."
