Meridian Systems’ Ninth Annual User Conference Report
by Susan Smith, of AEC Café
This week Meridian Systems held their Ninth Annual User Conference in Scottsdale, Arizona at the Camelback Inn, drawing more than 300 customers, resellers and business partners. Highlighted at the conference was the just released version of Prolog, Prolog Manager 7.5, a project management system that offers collaboration, purchasing management, cost control, and field administration.
In speaking with Sue Watkins, director of marketing for Meridian, I learned that the new version of Prolog was launched at the user conference because the release had relied so heavily on user input. Prolog has been an industry standard for project management for many years, and over that time has accrued approximately 85,000 users in over 8,000 companies.
