Welcome to our May update.

Meridian upgrades are now completed with SA Water, PWCS (Port Waratah Coal Services), and the Port of Melbourne. We're in the final stages with Boyne Smelters, Tronox, and Curtin University; and an upgrade is also in planning with BHP as they shift server infrastructure to the Cloud.

BHP recently purchased the Meridian Asset Management Module, as well as a number of mobile licenses to service their mine sites in the Bowen Basin (Queensland, Australia). The certified SAP component links engineering drawings with asset tags that are associated with functional locations. Drawings are made available to field staff via the Meridian app on their mobile device, to deliver search, view, and markup integration. We're working with BHP to enable the SAP and field mobility solutions, in conjunction with the Meridian 2021 upgrade.

With Meridian 2021 coming online, it's a good time to start planning and scheduling this year's upgrade, so please contact us if you'd like to start the discussion.

Like the BHP scenario described above, many organisations are extending the reach of their in-house Meridian solution by adding Meridian mobile for field staff. The benefits include:

The Meridian Mobility Bundle includes:

** Inclusion of configuration and setup is dependent on running the latest Meridian release.

The Meridian Mobility Bundle is provided at a cost of $26,190 ex. GST (AUD) for Meridian sites running concurrent licensing, representing a 10% license discount and complimentary setup.

Please contact us to obtain your personalised discount where you're not running the latest Meridian release or concurrent licensing.

The Lunr blog shares a number of recent publications, including these new articles:

There's a wealth of information online, or contact us to get started with a 10-user plan to manage all of your engineering content in one cloud-based repository, all hosted within Australia.

Many of you will be aware that the Meridian PowerUser desktop client was to be discontinued following the Meridian 2021 release. With most sites adopting the PowerWeb client as a replacement, Accruent had planned for the PowerUser end-of-life.

Meridian PowerWeb and Explorer will remain the focus of development, and covering all PowerUser functionality with equivalents in PowerWeb will remain an important roadmap priority. In the Extended Life period, PowerUser enables access to engineering data for customers where migration to PowerWeb is not practical.
