"The U.S. Army's previous contractor had developed a quality control system using Oracle Forms and Reports," said Robert Koehn, senior programmer (1) A hardware device used to customize a programmable logic chip such as a PAL, GAL, EPROM, etc. See PROM programmer. (2) A person who designs the logic for and writes the lines of codes of a computer program. at Avion. "The system was unreliable, returning incorrect data, which was unacceptable considering the critical nature of the system. Using Toad, we were able to salvage salvage, in maritime law, the compensation that the owner must pay for having his vessel or cargo saved from peril, such as shipwreck, fire, or capture by an enemy. Salvage is awarded only when the party making the rescue was under no legal obligation to do so. a multi-million dollar investment in a matter of months. Because they now know the data is reliable, the number of system users increased dramatically. Now accurate data on new and used aviation parts is easily accessible, improving the safety of Army equipment and personnel." By using Toad for Oracle, Koehn was also able to increase productivity. Army personnel were no longer forced to spend hours or days going through labor-intensive manual processes to track down vital information required for daily operations to run smoothly, safely and efficiently. "I've yet to find another tool that increases my productivity like Toad," added Koehn.
