Sunday, June 5
Welcome Users and Guests to the 2016 Software Forum and User Conference
Ultramain Systems is the market leader in paperless M&E / MRO and electronic logbook (ELB) software. This year’s Software Forum & User Conference marks the first year we will be hosting ELB user-only sessions, in addition to our longstanding M&E user-only sessions. This year’s Guest Days are bracketed in between the two groups.
During Guest Days we will show users and guests alike how our software has evolved since our last conference. Our Onboard Systems Division will be walking you through efbTechLogs v2, which is designed to utilize and interoperate on installed EFBs as well as mobile device EFBs, both phones and tablets, under iOS and Windows 10 mobile. Our M&E Division will show the latest ULTRAMAIN v9 capabilities, including our Mobile Mechanic software, which allows you to establish a regulatory authority approved paperless system-of-record.
In addition to USI presentations, this year’s conference includes guest speakers from Air New Zealand, Virgin Galactic, HAECO, and Cathay Pacific Airways. Presenters will brief attendees on projects their organizations are involved with, ones that are moving technology beyond previous boundaries, to what can be done. You will have the opportunity to network with peers who face similar challenges as you, along with top tier industry suppliers of innovative technologies, all in a casual setting designed to facilitate exchanges of information and ideas.
We’ll also be unveiling new ULTRAMAIN software which we believe will help you rethink old approaches and increase your confidence in taking your organization paperless.
Once again, we are excited to host you in our beautiful home city of Albuquerque, so let’s get the 2016 Forum started.
Join us tonight at 6pm for our welcome cocktail reception in the Fireplace Room, where you can meet other Forum attendees and relax before we dive in.
