“Integration with OneDrive for Business extends Logipad’s content management abilities by giving users access to their own personal documents and a feature-rich document reader. This increases acceptance of EFBs significantly.” – Dirk Leese, Logipad Product Manager, Modern.Work
SITUATION
Cost and time pressure characterize the aviation market. Downtime must be minimized; work processes need to be modernized and streamlined. Modern.Work believes the acceptance of EFBs in the cockpit is key, but to make them more appealing to pilots and crew, EFBs would need to do more than replace the paper-based flight plans, navigational charts, aircraft operating manuals, and reference materials found in carry-on flight bags.

OFFICE 365 ISV PROFILE:
Modern.Work focuses on electronic flight bag (EFB) optimization and support to facilitate an increasingly paperless cockpit. Its specialties include optimization of collaboration and communication using Office 365 and Skype for Business, provision of Microsoft Azure-based cloud services and consulting, and the development of a customized EFB solution for the cockpit called Logipad.
SOLUTION:
Modern.Work integrated Microsoft Office 365 with its EFB solution, Logipad, giving pilots and crew anytime access to their personal OneDrive documents and files. The integration transforms the EFB from being a closed-system device dedicated simply to flight-related information to one that is multi- purpose. It gives pilots and crew the best of two worlds – work and personal – on a single device. For Modern.Work’s aviation clients, it’s a major selling point since it increases productivity in the cockpit, boosts the appeal of EFBs, and supports the goals of modernizing and streamlining flight operations.
BENEFITS
Office 365 integration helps increase acceptance of EFBs, increasing loyalty to airlines by blurring the boundaries between work and personal.
Office 365 and OneDrive offer pilots and crew the best productivity tools on the planet for managing both their work lives and home lives.
