Mente Group recently conducted independent research to determine the efficiencies of cloud-based digital solutions for business aviation. In consultation with Bluetail, a supplier of aircraft records management tools, the Mente Group explored its market value proposition through in-depth interviews with Bluetail clients and other industry stakeholders. The outcome of the research reveals a positive ROI, and the results are published in an aviation industry white paper entitled: "Evaluating the ROI of Cloud-Based Maintenance Information Management (MIM)."

“This white paper shows that Bluetail's business aviation solution can address specific challenges across organisations to preserve value, reduce workload and increase efficiencies," explains COO Vince Restivo.

The white paper includes important findings about ROI, such as:

- Up to a 50 per cent reduction in research time during maintenance events

- Machine learning has proven to reduce manual indexing time by 100 per cent

- 50 per cent reduction in FAA Part 135 conformity research time

- 30 per cent reduction in compliance tracking and reporting time

MIM solutions not only improve the efficiency of aircraft maintenance processes but, with back-to-birth records, the value of the asset is protected. These backed-up records in the cloud remain linked to the plane regardless of its current owner, if sold, transferred from one operator to another or moved to a different location.

Eliminating physical aircraft records reported annual cost savings and an additional benefit of reducing the carbon footprint. This is an important gain for the aviation industry, especially considering its ongoing commitment to ESG (environmental, social, governance) initiatives.
