What is Meridian?

Meridian streamlines engineering document management to ensure safety and compliance, maximize company-wide collaboration, and provide a single source of truth for operations and maintenance teams. Meridian is a powerful, purpose-built engineering document management system (EDMS) that can transform your operations.

Key features:

Controlled Digital Workflows

Our engineering document control capabilities allow users to pass through pre-defined review and approval steps to make document changes. This helps maintain compliance, control changes, prevent human error, and ensure all boxes are checked.

Electronic Print Stamps and Watermarks

Every time you view, modify, or print a GMP document in Meridian, a print stamp and watermark will be automatically generated on each PDF rendering of the document with key timing information. So you’ll never have to worry about having the “correct version” in your hands, and your team will always have the most up-to-date version. 

Mobile Capabilities

Employees need to be able to access important documentation on the go, remotely, or in multiple places at once. With Meridian’s online access, users can see asset information – and all related documentation at once – from any device.

Electronic Signatures

When a GMP document is put into a workflow, it must pass through a series of reviews. As each user reviews or approves the document, their digital signature is manifested on the PDF rendition of the document in the order they signed. These workflows help ensure that the right people review and approve the document, simplify document management, and build an immutable audit trail.

Clear Audit Trail

By centralizing documentation and ensuring compliance to change management standards, Accruent engineering document management software provides a clear and accurate audit trail — including asset life information and detailed document history — that can reduce risk, help maintain document security and simplify compliance processes.

Work Order Management

Meridian EDMS provides a single source of engineering truth for all documents related to a work order. It also provides multiple ways to search for all types of critical documents, drawings, and associated assets. A user can find documents via tag scan, location, asset name, and many other identifiers. With a few clicks, maintenance teams will have all the information needed to complete the job efficiently.

Comprehensive CAD Management

Meridian EDMS is purpose-built to allow users to store, maintain, and update interrelated or interdependent CAD files, BIM models, drawings, schematics, and other documentation. This — along with features like digital workflows, audit trails and a defined feedback process — can help all users simplify compliance and understand who made decisions, when.

CMMS and ERP Integrations

Even with a robust CMMS platform, there’s often critical documentation — like complex engineering documents, facility documentation, CAD drawings and technical documents — that can’t be readily accessed or updated. Connecting Meridian to your CMMS system can help you easily access all your critical information and share field-related changes to document owners with ease.

Controlled External Document Exchange

Meridian simplifies project document change and external sharing using a controlled digital process — both to and from contractors and company-shared services. It also eliminates the need to use uncontrolled or unsanctioned tools such as Dropbox, network drives, email, or FTP sites.

Benefits of using Meridian

Efficient engineering document control: Engineering documentation is often unstructured, dispersed across various systems, constantly changing, and needed by many departments at once. Meridian is able to track parallel changes, streamline concurrent engineering, and keep your engineering projects under control.  

Optimized operations: Access to a centralized repository allows you complete control over all critical assets, facility, and engineering documentation, including complex technical manuals, computer-aided design (CAD) drawings, project files, and more.

Enhanced safety: Meridian’s centralized repository provides instant access to the most up-to-date Master documentation, which is critical when responding to an asset or plant emergency.

Improved collaboration: Meridian’s accessible, centralized, and transparent information helps every department in your business — including engineering, maintenance and operations, capital projects, IT, and external contractors — work together to get the job done.

Reduced costs and downtime: Avoid asset failures and plant shutdowns by always having the most accurate engineering information. Meridian ensures more effective and efficient routine and unplanned maintenance for greater business continuity, asset uptime, and a decrease in labor costs. It also mitigates risk so you can avoid health and safety incidents.

Scalable platform: Meridian’s engineering document management software supports the entire enterprise versus just one plant or location. Meridian scales for the enterprise with its ability to manage hundreds of thousands of interrelated documents, drawings, and information throughout its entire document lifecycle.
