Cora Systems, a leading provider of project portfolio management (PPM) solutions, today announced a partnership agreement with MDS Aero, a leading provider of gas turbine engine test facilities for aviation, industrial, and marine sectors, to use the Cora platform as its PPM solution.
Located in Ottawa, Ontario, MDS is a Canadian company that specializes in designing, engineering and building gas turbine engine and engine component test facilities. It selected Cora over several other suppliers because of the platform's flexibility, configurability, and depth of functionality. Unlike other solutions, Cora offered a long-term, scalable solution—spanning resource, financial, and risk management—that aligned with MDS’s vision for operational efficiency and strategic growth.
Randy VanDerStarren, Manager of Project Management Office, MDS, said: “We chose Cora because it offers more than just a project management tool, delivering an enterprise-level platform with the depth, configurability, and flexibility we need to drive long-term efficiency. We believe it will help achieve a 10% reduction in our operational execution costs. The ability to connect project data across our project operations and engineering departments, while configuring the system to our specific workflows, made Cora the clear strategic choice for MDS.”
Commenting on the partnership, Adrian Morrissey, CRO, Cora Systems, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with MDS Aero on their PPM journey. Their commitment to operational excellence aligns perfectly with our mission to empower organizations through connected project delivery. With Cora’s accelerated time to value and long-term commitment to the aerospace sector, we’re confident this collaboration will drive measurable value and support MDS’s strategic objectives.”
