Secure and Centralised Document Repository

Facility operations, project, or asset documents. CAD drawings, BIM models, loop sheets, or diagrams. As-built masters or project documents. No matter the file type, Meridian Cloud Business’s cloud-based document repository offers a secure and centralised single source of truth your internal and external teams can trust. Your project and operations managers, field technicians, and external engineering contractors will be confident that what they have in hand is secure, accurate, and dependable.

Faster Time-to-Maintenance-Work-Order Completion

Meridian Cloud Business asset information software enhances the value of your enterprise asset management (EAM) and computerised maintenance management system (CMMS). It enables technicians to link functional locations, assets, equipment, and work orders to all interrelated drawings and documents. They can even manage links without leaving the current document, asset tag, or work order, which helps them get their jobs done faster.

Greater Control of Engineering Data and Change Management

Distinguish between released master information for operations and maintenance and work-in-progress engineering data in change management projects. Organise projects by type, such as “change projects,” plant updates,” and “capital projects.” Update documents in multiple places at once with concurrent engineering. Assign documents inside projects to different users, organised by role, to streamline the document change, review, or approval process. The bottom line is that with Meridian Cloud Business’s engineering document management system, you can control every critical detail from beginning to end.

Increased Operations Safety

Keep your maintenance and operations teams safe by giving them 24/7 access to accurate information. Meridian EDMS gives them the confidence to make the right decisions when maintaining their mission-critical assets. This is especially crucial and even life-saving during an asset or plant emergency.

Secure and Controlled External Document Exchange

Meridian Cloud Business facilitates the secure exchange of document deliverables between all internal and external stakeholders. Initiate role-based access and permissions that connect people and projects with secure authentication. Contractors can only access specific project phases to deliver the required engineering information and data as needed. It also eliminates the need to use uncontrolled and often unsecured tools such as Dropbox or email.

Lower IT Burden

Built on the Microsoft Azure Cloud platform, you’ll receive the technical and security support you expect and offload the IT burden from internal resources. Meridian Cloud Business software decreases on-premises hardware, software, and infrastructure costs. In addition, it provides all the maintenance, upgrades, and patches you’ll need. Upgrades are provided quarterly, and all users are invited to suggest application improvements. Offloading system operations and maintenance reduce IT maintenance and labor costs by more than 50% compared to on-premises systems.

Scale at Will

No project is too complex, or the number of files too small. Meridian Cloud Business EDMS scales for the enterprise with its ability to manage hundreds to thousands of interrelated documents, drawings, and information throughout its entire lifecycle. It will always suit your changing business needs now and in the future.

Powerful Features to Help You and Your Business Thrive

Automatic Checks Functionality

Meridian Cloud Business automatic checks user interface

The automatic checks functionality within Meridian Cloud Business helps organisations become more efficient and feel more confident about their data quality because nothing is lost or exchanged incorrectly. It automatically scans for new and matching documents and alerts you of missing or changed references so nothing is lost. And you realise substantial time savings compared to manual checks.

Secure Cloud-Based Portal for Greater Team Collaboration

Meridian Cloud Business secure portal user interface

Meridian Cloud Business integrates with Meridian Cloud Project, a secure collaboration portal, for effortless communication with external contractors. Extended teams can work in tandem across multiple projects, allowing maximum visibility and efficiency. Access the most up-to-date information, exchange data, transmit documents, review, and validate deliverables anytime and from anywhere.

Compliance-Ready Controlled Digital Workflows

Meridian Cloud Portal digital approval workflow user interface

Use powerful digital workflows amongst your teams to avoid missing crucial steps or human error in your engineering document management flow and project lifecycle. With pre-defined reviews, locked transitions, and built-in approval steps, what needs to be done is crystal clear. These automated workflows can accommodate multiple documents in different projects and are your “go-to” tools for supporting compliance.

Title Block and Reference Management

Engineering drawings and documents often have title blocks with attributes and references between files. Meridian Cloud Business manages document references to make document management easier. In addition, the Meridian Cloud Connector plugin can be downloaded and installed from the Meridian Cloud Business landing page to support the bi-directional synchronisation of metadata and references between authoring applications and Meridian Cloud Business.

Naming Conventions

Meridian Cloud Business supports standardisation by automatically naming documents based on organisational naming conventions and industry standards. New documents can use the naming conventions to automatically generate the document name and sequence number as part of the document creation process, creating greater efficiencies and saving you time. Users can even rename imported documents according to the naming conventions to support unique document naming.

What Sets Meridian Cloud Business Apart?

Concurrent Engineering

Meridian Cloud Business offers concurrent engineering so your teams can update documents in multiple projects simultaneously. Track parallel changes and visually compare documents to ensure document accuracy across the enterprise.

Frictionless Feedback

Meridian Cloud Business empowers maintenance and operations teams to easily and visually communicate issues or changes back to engineering. Using the Meridian Explorer web application, technicians can annotate, redline, and include comments to PDF document renditions and automatically send them back to engineering for a frictionless feedback loop.

Handover Management

Keeping process functions and assets up to date in an as-built environment while changing the engineering data in a project environment is a huge data handover challenge. With Meridian Cloud Business, you can streamline handover procedures with its seamless integration into your CMMS. Now operations and maintenance teams are automatically notified when a new or updated master document is available. They’re always informed and feel confident knowing they have the correct information.
