Avtrade Upgrades to the Quantum Control Oracle Max-Q

Oct. 9, 2012

AMSTERDAM, NL, MRO Europe, October 9, 2012 – Component Control announced today that global component service provider Avtrade, has upgraded its Quantum Control™ MRO and Logistics software to run on Oracle™,  allowing the Company to benefit from a selection of enhanced product features.

The Oracle™ upgrade has delivered immediate benefits to Avtrade’s Quantum users, in terms of performance and stability, further streamlining business activities and maximizing performance. Backups of databases can now be done at any time throughout the day, whilst users are logged in, and Avtrade now also have access to additional functionality such as Remote Inventory, Warranty Module and improved Reporting features.

“The process was very well organized by Component Control” comments John Schneider, Systems Manager at Avtrade.  “We can now evaluate new versions of Quantum, such as version 10, very easily on the new Oracle™ server setup. Test upgrades on data were done prior to the actual upgrade to ensure the data was migrated easily. The engineer was very flexible in his approach, with the least possible disruption to our daily business activity. The benefits were noticed immediately by our users.”

“In the days that followed the upgrade any minor issues were dealt with immediately – again without any disruption to the business. Overall I can honestly say the upgrade process could not have gone any better” concludes Schneider.

A Component Control customer for the past eight years, Avtrade now operates on a highly scalable and secure OracleTM database, which includes a range of logistics and business modules.

Quantum ControlTM is a fully integrated business software solution. Developed specifically for MRO and logistics organisations, it promotes best practice and improves business processes with one integrated solution running on one database that can be flexibly deployed as a dedicated in-house system, or be hosted via a third-party cloud.  Quantum Control's personalized configuration settings provide individual users with an intuitive interface which improves the bottom line through optimized productivity.  As a powerful, affordable and scalable solution, Quantum ControlTM extends across the supply chain using its built-in web services fully integrated with www.StockMarket.aero.
