Air Atlanta have implemented ColorNet Document Management Solutions throughout their organisation. The Maintenance of aircraft is a highly specialised area that generates volumes of paperwork. To improve productivity, improve efficiencies, reduce cost and offer an improved service, Air Atlanta has implemented ColorNet Document Management:

Work Documents is responsible for issuing work jobs and maintaining a record of all jobs that are carried out on each aircraft. The Work Documents are printed with a barcode; additional relevant information is then added to the Work Document by the aircraft technician, confirming that the job has been completed. The Documents are then scanned using a high speed ColorNet Scanning Device. The ColorNet software reads the Barcode and indexes the document automatically, Additional information is than added to the index  from their existing database. The Scanned work Documents are stored on a NT Server, using existing security polices. Copies can be giving to Customers on CD if required. This solution was approved by the IAA.
