Welcome to our February Newsletter
This edition has our latest updates, including customer insights and an update on our team, as well as the latest information on Meridian, upgrades, white papers and more.
Onset Updates
At the start of each year, Accruent runs the Synergy conference to update partners on new Meridian developments and share the roadmap for the coming months and years. Marco (pictured below) attended as our technical lead and returns with updated training on the Meridian 2020 products, including Enterprise, Cloud and Portal.
Back in Australia, we have Meridian upgrades in progress with Queensland Rail and Multinet Gas. Upgrades in planning and scheduling include KCA (Kimberly Clark Australia), Sorbent (formerly Asaleo Care) and VicTrack Properties .

We're also excited to announce that our OCP (Onset Contractor Portal) is now available on cloud. Now branded as Lunr , the portal is hosted on Azure and represents the next generation of this product's evolution.
What's New in Meridian 2020
Meridian 2020 will be available from 25 February and new features are as follows:

Server
  • Portal integration enhancements
  • Sync document on send
  • Import from Portal in Workflow
  • Package management improvements

PowerWeb
  • PDFTron 5.0 with document compare improvements
  • Copy/Paste Clipboard
  • Compact web setup

Additionally:
  • Autodesk Forge is utilised for native file viewing. The benefit is that Forge includes viewing for 3D models, such as Revit and SolidWorks.
  • ODA native file viewing being tested and may become an option in late 2020.
  • The Power User desktop client now has a planned end of life by 2022 (Meridian 2021 will be the last shipping version).

The Meridian 2019 R2 & Meridian 2020 releases include support for the Autodesk 2020 product family.

The Supported Software and System Requirements documentation from Accruent is a good starting point, so let us know if you need these critical documents.

And get in touch if you'd like more information on the Meridian Mobile App.
Meridian Certified Specialists
We'd like to congratulate our team members Marco, Aaron and Damien on achieving the status of Meridian Certified Implementation Specialists.

The annual certification exam from Accruent tests the Implementation Specialists on their Meridian knowledge and ability to implement Meridian within a customer environment. The core focus of the exam is tied to Meridian Project (Portal), Business (Cloud) and Enterprise (Server).

Worldwide, 8 Certified Implementation Specialists passed the 2019 exam, of more than 20 registered partner consultants.
GTX and Viewport
We understand that your Enterprise solution also integrates additional components. At Onset we offer the GTX software for raster editing and vector conversion, as well as the Viewport software to link your operational systems.
Viewport provides a single point of access that connects and adds value by aggregating data from multiple data sources. Tag/document references in Meridian drawing data are connected to systems including SharePoint, SAP & Maximo to improve efficiency, safety and compliance of a plant or facility.
