(www.aeroscout.com) AeroScout needed a PSA solution to help manage its global services business through better visibility into key financial metrics. They chose OpenAir because of its powerful reporting, customization and configuration capabilities.

The ability to have a real-time view of the organization, along with execution to the financial goals enabled the transition to a proactive management," said Amit Larom, Vice President of Worldwide Professional Services. "The implementation was quick and smooth and our staff was able to start using the system within a few weeks, with minimal training and support. As we rolled out the system one module at a time, OpenAir's services and support stood ready to jump in to help when needed. The customization and configuration enabled us to tailor the system to our workflow." SpringSource (www.springsource.com) Based in San Mateo, CA with additional offices around the globe — in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Australia — SpringSource chose OpenAir for its powerful reporting functionality and multinational support, as well as its deep expertise integrating with both NetSuite and salesforce.com. "OpenAir provides the tools we need in order to streamline our service delivery process," said Bob Mahan, Director of Professional Services at SpringSource.

Rally Software Development Corp.® (www.rallydev.com) Rally chose OpenAir after searching the field of PSA vendors and found OpenAir's product and team to be far superior to competing products. Rally uses OpenAir to track and deliver training for its clients and integrates OpenAir with salesforce.com, its customer relationship management system.
