MIAMI and ARLINGTON, Va., Jan. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PASS Consulting Corporation, a leading technology provider, announced the renewal of its business relationship with Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC).
"The PASS Center of Excellence (CoE), a representative office installed in July 2008, provides ARC staff with product-related expertise and training. This ultimately enables ARC to carry out maintenance and enhancements by themselves using PASS proprietary software development tools. Consequently ARC is provided with methodologies which perfectly fit to manage new challenges while at the same time ensuring the ability to respond quickly to changes of business demands or technology. ARC is now able to maintain and modify their product on its own using the newest technology tools. "Originally these tools have been developed to provide competitive advantages for our own products and turnkey projects." says Michael Strauss, CEO.ARC benefits from the sophisticated PASS Virtual Software Factory (VSF), which allows for more than 80% of the code to be generated on basis of templates and proofed models.
In 2006 PASS was awarded with the creation of the ARC Memo Manager. --a product that automates the memo distribution and settlement process. It allows the processing of debit and credit memos, two-way communication, and electronic payment. The elimination of paper-based processes, reduction of costs and the improvement of cash flow are a few key benefits users can expect from the Memo Manager. In only 6 months, PASS created a 5,000 DIPS application. This pace was only possible by using the PASS Virtual Software Factory which ensures productivity and quality in software development through a high degree of automation and standardization, its component principle and the ability to develop schemes without typing any code.
"The project worked out very well in spite of the great distance of all its team members." said Doug Mangold, Director of Product Management for ARC. "PASS demonstrated outstanding response times. We value our long-term relationship with PASS."
