26 Apr 2004

Lochard gains Microsoft certifications for latest release of ANOMS. Melbourne, Australia --- Lochard, the world's leading supplier of Airport Noise and Flight Track Monitoring systems, today announced the successful Microsoft certification testing and acceptance for its newest software platform: ANOMS System 8™. The certification is the result of an intense two-year R&D investment into the product, building on Lochard's unmatched experience in partnering with the world's most sophisticated airports, and incorporating the best features of Lochard's market-leading GEMS and ANOMS platforms. Retaining the renowned robustness and functionality gained over fourteen years of deployment experience, the new ANOMS™ System 8 platform introduces new capabilities only now possible using the .NET® and Windows Server® 2003 environments. The already comprehensive breadth of ANOMS System 8 functionality is further complemented with by superior reliability, performance and security of the .NET platform. For customers, this means easier integration, lower maintenance costs and greater interoperability with other Microsoft applications. "We took a decision almost 2 years ago to not only develop the next generation of ANOMS, but to re-think the entire airport noise space. We wanted to create a solution that focused on the generation and maintenance of Environmental Capacity. We think we've achieved that objective, and also delivered an application that has value well outside the traditional airport noise office. ANOMS System 8 is truly an 'enterprise' application." said Russell Hulstrom, Lochard's Chief Operating Officer. The product certification once again asserts Lochard’s market leadership. Customers can be confident in dealing with a highly capable and mature organisation, with a mastery of world’s best practise technologies. "Achievement of Microsoft .NET® Connected and Windows Server® 2003 certification is another example of Lochard’s commitment to providing our customers with the very best solutions. They've already shown very positive reaction to the opportunities created by blending leading application functionality with a world class technical platform", affirmed Hulstrom. Initial installations of ANOMS System 8 will include San Francisco, Boca Raton (US), Birmingham (UK), and Chiang Kai Chek (Taiwan, ROC).
