Meridian Power is a web-based Engineering Document Management System (EDMS) for creating, modifying, and managing engineering data stored in Meridian. It enforces your business rules in the engineering process, such as automatically naming and filing documents, managing complex CAD references, and exchanging data with CAD and Office files. Target users include engineering managers, project managers, engineers, and CAD drafting technicians.
Manage engineering documents throughout their entire life cycle, from creation and review to storage, distribution, and eventual archiving or destruction.
Meridian defines documents by their business purpose, not their file extension. For example, your project can store different file formats as drawings, such as AutoCAD Drawings (.dwg), MicroStation Design Files (.dng) , and PDFs. Meridian allows you to manage these different drawing types based on their business meaning, not just their format.
Meridian stores all your document data in a vault, including all revisions, redline data, and references between documents. You can move files between folders or projects within the vault without losing references.
