Airline Integrated Document Management

About Aerospace

The Challenge

As described in the previous sections, an airline has multiple requirements for technical content management that fall within different parts of the organization:

Technical publications
Engineering and technical operations
Flight operations
Company manuals
MRO

Today, these five areas are often silos of activity and information with very little cross connections. Some of the areas may be partially or extensively automated while others may be mostly manual. A particular department may use an IT system to achieve some automation while another department may use an altogether different system.

This can result in an inadequate level of data integration and an unnecessary duplication of IT spending.

The Solution
InfoTrust’s TechSight/X offers a single integrated platform to manage all of the airline’s technical data, including:

Technical publications and manuals
Flight operations documents
Company manuals
Task cards
Engineering change documentation

TechSight/X is a robust technical data management system that can offer an airline a maximum return on its investment.

TechSight/X runs on top of a common set of off-the-shelf infrastructure components, including a CMS, RDBMS, and XML authoring tool.

The Benefits

Reduced systems costs	TechSight/X is a single system that consolidates the data management requirements of multiple departments for lower systems costs.
Reduced support costs	TechSight/X has fewer applications and fewer infrastructure components, resulting in lower complexity and system support costs.
Reduced training costs	TechSight/X creates a common system across departments, resulting in lower training costs and greater worker flexibility
Reduced cycle times	TechSight/X’s common system allows for the electronic exchange of data between departments, which drastically reduces the time taken to author, revise, review, and publish technical data changes.
