To allow for scalability, OASES is structured in a modular format and OGMA has selected the following modules: Core, Airworthiness, Planning and Line Maintenance Control. To operate OASES, OGMA will be taking advantage of Commsoft’s newly-expanded hosting environment and the company has already planned for a prompt implementation.
