At Accruent, we recognize the need for a more scalable and modern engineering document management system (EDMS). To answer that call, we are introducing a new integration between our Meridian and RedEye EDMS solutions.
Our integrated EDMS spans across the entire asset drawing lifecycle and provides a new alternative to Meridian Portal, Meridian Explorer and Meridian Mobile. This mobile-first option is more intuitive and scalable, bringing the best of both worlds to your organization.
Why You Need an Integrated EDMS Solution
Asset lifecycles span across design, construction, operation and maintenance, and breakdowns in document continuity often happen at the handover point within and between each stage. Documents and drawings evolve quickly, so by the time an asset reaches operations, data can be fragmented across multiple systems.
A weak link in asset handover creates a laundry list of costly inefficiencies such as poor decision making, compliance risks and errors that lead to reworks. With Accruent’s integrated EDMS, you get a solution that covers the entire document lifecycle without you needing to choose between functionality and accessibility.
Our integration provides you with:
- Advanced Document Management and Collaboration: Internal teams, contractors and partners can access files anytime, anywhere, simplifying engineering document control and democratizing access to critical information, for real-time, flexible field access and external collaboration. Features include unlimited users, easier package exchanges and flexible workflows that remove bottlenecks.
- Unlimited User Model: Being able to seamlessly add as many stakeholders to document libraries and project workflows as needed further empowers strong collaboration. You also gain powerful search for advanced discovery, geographic information system (GIS) integration for location context, in-field red line markups and remote access that make information more usable in the field.
- Clean, User-Friendly Mobile Application: With offline access, markup tools and seamless synchronization, RedEye’s mobile app operates as a full companion to the web. It delivers true mobility to your field teams and contractors, helping projects stay on track.

Getting the Best of Both Worlds for Asset Lifecycle Management
Accruent delivers true end-to-end coverage across the entire asset lifecycle. From design through ongoing operations, our integrated solution ensures continuity of information as drawings move between engineering, construction and maintenance teams.
- Meridian provides the structure and control needed in the earliest stages of asset creation. During design, review and approval, it offers deep CAD integration, version control and compliance management to ensure every document is accurate, approved and auditable. When it’s time for handover, Meridian ensures that all approved documentation is transferred efficiently to operations, closing the gap that often causes rework or data loss.
- RedEye extends lifecycle coverage into the field. Once assets are live, RedEye supports operations and maintenance with cloud-first accessibility, allowing field teams and contractors to view, edit and annotate the latest documents from anywhere. Its as-built markup capabilities make it easy to capture real-world changes, while built-in workflows for review, control and release ensure updates flow seamlessly back to engineering. With an unlimited user model and mobile-first design, RedEye removes traditional barriers to collaboration, allowing all stakeholders to work from the same, most current source of truth.
Meridian’s engineering rigor and RedEye’s operational agility to eliminate handover challenges, reduce downtime and maintain data integrity over time, creating a continuous, digital thread of information.
Now, you can bridge the full asset lifecycle, bringing Meridian’s deep project and design-phase capabilities, like CAD integration, compliance and version control, together with RedEye’s operational and field-focused accessibility. The result? A trusted and connected flow of engineering data that can reduce errors, improve cross-collaboration and support more confident decision making.
