Introducing Accruent Meridian Enterprise

The Meridian Enterprise Term product suite is the most comprehensive product suite with all available Meridian Server modules. The Meridian Enterprise Term product suite has the following modules:

• EDM Server

• Enterprise Server

• Explorer Server

• Publisher Server

• Standard Rendering module

• Asset Management module

• Advanced Project Workflow module

• Regulatory Compliance (FDA) module

Meridian Enterprise Term uses Subscription Licenses, which can be deployed on the Meridian on-premise license server or on the Meridian license tenant.

Meridian Enterprise Server is the core product in the Meridian Enterprise product suite. It provides centralized, scalable, web services and administration for use with Meridian Enterprise, Accruent Project Portal, and other business systems. Besides the shared services, Meridian Enterprise Server includes the latest generation of AccruentPublisher and Meridian Explorer technology.

Meridian Portal is the only cloud-based portal for collaboration between facility owner-operators and contractors that does not require direct access to internal master data and workflows. It allows users to exchange data, collaborate with extended project teams, and validate deliverables in the cloud.

Meridian Portal provides a single solution for managing capital, expansion, overhaul, and change projects, including brownfield and greenfield projects. It increases efficiency through time saved on document control, project management, review and validation of project deliverables, and by eliminating lead-times due to offline or paper-based communication processes.

With Meridian Portal, you get high security through the Microsoft Azure cloud platform and improved data handovers and full proof of control for regulatory compliance. Communication and data exchange are optimized to keep projects on specification, within budget, and on time so you can partly or fully outsource your plant changes for the best possible price with confidence.

The AccruentMeridian Advanced Project Workflow Module establishes a project structure for managing engineering content work-in-progress. Master documents are available for maintenance and operations in an as-built area, while working copies are made in project areas. The AccruentMeridian Advanced Project Workflow Module also allows you to manage multiple concurrent projects that share documents. It provides a way to merge design changes into a new version of the master document in a controlled manner and lets you handle small changes as well as complex capital projects based on pre-configured projects and workflow templates. Its advanced tools let you control and monitor project progress.

The AccruentMeridian Asset Management Module enhances, automates, and streamlines asset operations throughout their lifecycle by linking them with engineering content such as drawings and technical specifications. The module allows you to integrate with maintenance management systems like Maximo, SAP PM, Datastream, and Ultimo, and with Facility Management Systems like Archibus and Famis. This ensures the performance of mission-critical assets and avoids costly operational disruptions. Maintaining control of and providing access to up-to-date documentation is crucial in all phases of the asset life cycle.

The AccruentMeridian Email Manager can scan any number of Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP)-compatible email servers and automatically import email messages and their attachments into related folders in the AccruentMeridian vault. It retrieves qualifying emails according to a set of configurable rules, for example, by associating certain keywords or phrases with specific projects and metadata.

Meridian Explorer provides a repository separate from the engineering production vault and a dynamic web client that makes it possible to provide engineering content to the rest of the enterprise outside engineering. The Meridian Explorer client provides extensive search capabilities and lets you pre-configure views  for business-specific uses of the available data. It lets you search, view, and print documents and export query results to Microsoft Excel. A subset of the functionality of Meridian Explorer is included with Meridian Enterprise as the Data Library.

The AccruentMeridian FDA Module adds U.S. Food and Drug Administration 21 CFR Part 11 regulatory compliance features to AccruentMeridian. Its advanced document control tools are used by pharmaceutical companies throughout the processes of document creation, review, approval, revision, and archiving.

Accruent Publisher helps you publish engineering data managed by AccruentMeridian to alternative formats in other document management systems, file systems, or the Internet. It enables the reliable and timely availability of documents in other systems such as Documentum, FileNet, Livelink, SharePoint, web portals, or email.
