Ultramain efbTechLogs Wins Software Awards
Albuquerque, New Mexico, November 19, 2007 — Ultramain Systems’ electronic flight log software, efbTechLogs, has won IT Excellence Awards in the categories of Commercial Software and Internet Solutions. The IT Excellence Awards are held annually by the New Mexico Information Technology and Software Association (“NMITSA”), a software and information technology advocacy organization. The IT Excellence Awards competition recognizes the most successful information technology solutions developed by New Mexico-based organizations. efbTechLogs was the only solution that won in more than one award category in this year’s competition. Tim Spears accepted the awards on behalf of Ultramain Systems. Spears is the architect of efbTechLogs. About the awards, Spears said "It is gratifying to receive this honor for our efforts to bring advanced technology to the global aviation industry while being recognized by our New Mexico peers." efbTechLogs is web-based software that runs on EFB cockpit devices and provides all the features of a paper technical log without the bulk or risk of outdated information. With the speed of digital communication, pilots can record flight discrepancies when they happen and alert ground maintenance crews of any needed repairs well before the plane lands. As a result, gate repairs can be made quickly so the plane can take off on its next flight on schedule. This adds up to greater revenue for airlines, and less hassle for passengers. Mark McCausland, president of Ultramain Systems, said "The aviation industry is undergoing a technology revolution, and efbTechLogs is part of that revolution. By enabling faster, more complete communication between cockpit crews and ground crews, efbTechLogs helps airlines keep planes in the air and on schedule, not idle at the gate awaiting maintenance."
