Who are we?

Ounce of Prevention Software is a Division of Aviar, Inc., formerly known as Peregrine Systems, (not to be confused with that other Peregrine Systems that was close to bankruptcy in the not too distant past) We have been in business for almost 24 years. The company was founded to write custom software for PCs, back in the early days when PCs were just emerging.

OOPS!, our first CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System), the forerunner of OZ, was designed and developed back in the earlly 1980s, has gone through several upgrades and is still used by a large number of companies worldwide. New copies of OOPS! are no longer sold, although current customers, who have support contracts are still supported and occasional DOS upgrades are still put out.

Oz. is the evolution of the OOPS! system. Aviar designed the Oz architecture using the most stable, flexible software technologies available to make Oz. the most real-world, usable computerized maintenance management system. The Oz. system is object-oriented and has a graphical-user interface. Oz. uses both "client-server" and "web" technologies. Oz., as a fully integrated client-server CMMS, provides Work Orders, PM Scheduling, Inventory, Parts, Labor, Vendors, Equipment History, Reports, etc. - and the integrated web technology provides web-based work request features, status inquiry features and multi-plant inquiry features.

Oz is available in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
