CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Viasat
Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT), a global communications company, today
announced an updated release of AeroDocs, its compliance and
document management solution for aviation.
The upgraded release, known as AeroDocs version 18.3 (v18.3),
introduces significant new capabilities related to the import,
editing and publishing of certain aircraft original equipment
manufacturers' (OEM) documents. It also includes support for shared
content; Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) v2.0 for
authentication and single sign-on; and a revamped iPad Electronic
Flight Bag (EFB) application that includes a host of improvements
to the viewing experience. Specific updates include:
- Editing for OEM documentation: Viasat AeroDocs v18.3 now
allows airline customers to import complex and large OEM manuals
into Viasat AeroDocs including flight crew operations manuals,
quick reference handbooks and minimum equipment lists. Once
imported into the AeroDocs framework, OEM documents appear as
editable content, enabling airlines to easily edit content without
the need for content editor specialists.
- Shared content: Viasat AeroDocs v18.3 contains
significant content improvements, including content reuse and
content multi-purposing, which allows airlines to write content,
add it to the library and then reuse it across multiple document
sources, including: reference handbooks, maintenance manuals and
operational manuals.
"With the upgraded AeroDocs v18.3 release, we incorporated
customer feedback with advanced content controls to present an
enhanced framework for faster, easier content management of
highly-regulated aviation safety documentation," said Dave Elliott, managing director, Viasat Ireland.
"We understand airlines' priorities include a balanced mix of
safety and operational considerations with a deep focus on
passenger experience, passenger loyalty and passenger spend. Our
goal is to help airlines simplify their processes by putting a
documentation infrastructure in place that is scalable, flexible
and highly-dependable."
