This paper describes the ERMIS system, specially designed to support the fleet and personnel scheduling and management issues, as well as to support various business collaboration issues for a helicopter taxi company. The implemented system offers a web-based interface for the flying and stationary personnel and a software application running on a PDA with GSM and GPS capabilities for the pilots. The information flow and the business processes of the ERMIS system are based on XML Web Services which makes the system open and interoperable with other company-owned information systems.
