Encompass software allows customers to extend the power of Prolog® through web-based collaboration modules, dashboard views, and automated email, fax and reporting tools
FOLSOM, Calif. (January 23, 2006) - Meridian Systems® a provider of enterprise project management software for optimizing capital projects, programs and facilities, announced today a new technology partnership agreement with Dimension 5 Solutions (D5), developers of Encompass software. Encompass extends the existing functionality of Prolog Manager and Prolog WebSite by automating the collection, verification and entry of paper-based and electronic project data from numerous sources.
Prolog is the industry standard for successful construction project delivery, providing a complete project management software solution for more than 8,500 construction companies, engineering firms, and public and private building owners.
As an authorized Meridian independent software vendor (ISV), D5 provides technology solutions and services to Meridian customers and partners that extend the capabilities of Prolog.
“Dimension 5 Solutions is excited to partner with Meridian Systems by integrating the communication and collaboration management features of Encompass with Prolog’s powerful project management and collaboration toolset” stated Brian Tickner, chief operating officer at D5. “ Meridian is the industry leader in project management solutions, and we look forward to offering the market a way to extend the value of Prolog deployments through the integrated features of Encompass.”
“D5 offers a valuable business solution to Prolog customers by streamlining the electronic capture of various kinds of project information,” said John Bodrozic, Meridian president and cofounder. “We are pleased to have them as an ISV partner.”
Prolog customers can streamline the management of emails, faxes, scanned documents and Web data by taking advantage of the parsing, routing, storage and retrieval features that the Encompass software provides. Several large general contractors as well as retail and government owners in the AEC industry are already using Encompass to automate the capture of project information. C ustom workflow rules can route the data to a central review and approval queue where it is assigned to individuals or groups for further processing. Once approved, the information can be submitted to Prolog® with one mouse click to create new records or update existing ones.
