The Enterprise Application Services (EAS) division of HCL Technologies (HCL) has announced the release of its iMRO5.0 solution. HCL EAS’ iMRO is maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) solution endorsed by SAP AG and an add-on to the SAP Enterprise Asset Management (SAP EAM) solution. iMRO and SAP EAM solutions enhance and complement each other for use by MRO organizations within the A&D and TT&L industries. This latest iMRO release is not only more cost-effective than previous versions, but also faster, with better user acceptance and productivity. The benefits to the customer include improvements in user productivity due to the faster processing time and better software asset utilization supported by the new functionality.
“We are delighted to announce iMRO5.0which will continue to evolve steadily over the coming years. This SAP-endorsed business solution continues to meet customer demands in reduced implementation times and higher user productivity, which is evident through our successful deployment of iMRO at global tier-one aircraft manufacturing, third-party service and operator organizations. Our focus will stay on enabling users to perform tasks efficiently through closed-loop interactions with our clients as well as bringing SAP’s latest tools such as 3-D visualization (e.g., SAP Visual Enterprise applications) and mobile capabilities into the heart of the maintenance process,” said Benedikt Hermann, Vice-President – Product Innovation, HCL.
Since 2009 iMRO has been a part of a rolling product roadmap driven by SAP’s MRO user community for the A&D industry (SUGAIR), SAP’s user group for railways (SUGRAIL) and new SAP technology enhancements. HCL has worked with SAP to achieve all planned targets to date for the latest version of iMRO for the aviation sector.
Another key feature is the ability to integrate the SAP EAM solution with external technical publication data. The execution process is enhanced by enabling maintenance to navigate easily between SAP EAM and the electronic technical documentation, allowing users to combine data, as required.
