Optimized Systems and Solutions Secures Contract Renewal from Rolls-Royce

RESTON, Va. – Sept. 23, 2010. – Optimized Systems and Solutions (OSyS) has secured a five-year renewal of its fleet-wide equipment health management (EHM) agreement with Rolls-Royce. This renewal extends OSyS’ EHM support for long-term aviation engine service agreements offered by RollsRoyce.

“EHM is an essential part of professional aircraft management, helping to optimize operating costs and prevent service disruption,” said Russell Buxton, director of services for Rolls-Royce Civil Aerospace.

“OSyS’ EHM services are a key part of our long-term service agreement package that allows us to reduce risk, increase asset availability and improve revenue for our customers.” OSyS’ EHM solution accesses and reviews live operational data from installed equipment. Through data analysis and trend identification, it predicts when operationally critical equipment may require out-ofschedule inspection or maintenance. By actively managing equipment-health alerts, the solution enables proactive resolution of potential issues, improving asset availability and reliability.

“We are pleased by the confidence Rolls-Royce has in our EHM services as demonstrated by this renewal agreement,” said Mark Goodhind, director of customer business - fleet optimization solutions for OSyS. “By providing improved decision-support information, EHM enables Rolls-Royce as the engine manufacturer to drive internal efficiencies and cost-effectively provide aftercare services for a significantly growing fleet. Built on more than a decade of EHM experience, OSyS provides a proven solution that unlocks the full decision-making value of equipment data.”

OSyS delivers EHM services across multiple global markets in addition to civil aviation, including energy, oil and gas, and nuclear.
