Does your company need an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) with the ability to manage your Corporate, Contractor, Project, Vendor, Operations, and Maintenance data and documents while continuing to practice consistent Information Management practices.
The following features are a must.
1. File Structure
Consistency matters. Like navigating around your house, it’s nice to know where everything is and that items are placed in a logical order (hopefully your kitchenware isn’t found in your bathroom). The same holds true for managing your data and documents. Knowing where your data and documents are, and how to locate it leads to streamlined processes, productivity, shareability and consistency across multiple projects and facilities.
How you organize your file structure and where the data and documents are stored is seen as an overall map to your Electronic Document Management System (EDMS).
2. Security
Your vital data and documents should not only be stored but also protected. An Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) with the capability to provide security roles allow your users to perform specific actions on specific data and documents. Security roles are named sets of security privileges. Each security privilege controls a specific command or function that can be either granted or revoked. Your users or groups are assigned to security roles for specific folders in a project or facility.
By default, your users can perform the same actions on data and documents. If additional control is required, the privileges of security roles can be updated by the folder and document type.
3. Ease of Use
Ease of Use is a subjective topic. Your users will find an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) easy-to-use by reducing the number of “clicks” used to manage the data and document information.
The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian creates a rendition (copy of a document in a format other than the original) Typically, the rendition is in a noneditable format and is distributed only for reference or hard copy printing while the original, editable source document is not distributed outside of the organization. Examples of rendition formats are Portable Document Format (PDF) and Autodesk Drawing Web Format (DWF). Renditions can often be created by the same application that is used to edit the original document or they can be created by a different application. In some cases, the renditions are stored in a separate project or Electronic Document Management System (EDMS)
4. Access
More than 70% of the population is continuing to work remotely, an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) solution should offer a great remote and mobile user experience. This will ensure tasks and transactions are continued when remote or on-the-go.
A robust file type support is a key Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) feature allowing a wide range of support from various applications like AutoCAD, AutoDesk and other design applications to common file types like Word, PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIF, and more. Additionally with the emerging file formats like 3D, panoramic, virtual reality, and augmented reality an Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) must have the capabilities to support them.
6. Search
Have you ever tried shuffling through a disorganized stack of papers and folders, you know how much time is wasted doing the cumbersome task. The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian makes organizing, searching, and managing data and documents easier to ease the painful process.
Meridian’s optical character recognition technology and global search capabilities enhance the data and document searchability based on their attributes such as the name and title. The data and documents can also be stored using their name, title, number, and type attributes as well as others. This increases the search and retrieval speed by utilizing a full-text search and attribute categories criteria.
7. Version Control
Version control is a method of organizing the file structure, so your data and documents are filed in an easy-to-trace order. Version control allows your employees to track and monitor document changes by creating updated versions of the document each time it’s modified. It enables you to track how the document has been modified and evolved. The version control number is updated when a document is edited, indicating that you see the most recent version.
Version control is extremely useful when several of your employees are working on the same document simultaneously. In addition, it enables each document modifier to understand the review process and see how a document has changed and who has made modifications in the past.
8. Software Integration
A robust software integration service can boost your company’s overall efficiency. Integration with software such as AutoCAD, Revit, MicroStation, SAP and 3rd party Construction Maintenance Management Software.
Like when you prune a plant, pruning your outdated software can lead to better, more efficient growth. When your outdated or broken software pieces aren’t taking up your company’s storage capacity anymore, you’ll get to work at faster speeds. As a result, you’ll be able to accomplish more with your software. Furthermore, you can also get rid of other inefficiencies like data and document duplication. Synchronize your data and documents using Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian this will mean fewer mistakes and better accuracy, which will also contribute to your business efficiency.
9. Workflows
More than 70% of the population is working remotely, and to accommodate, 75% of businesses are already using applications with workflows. While we were still working from the office, it was easier to define, track and remind your team members of their daily tasks. But it became difficult with the implementation of the work from home model. Now even post-pandemic, the world still prefers working from home or a hybrid model of working. So how do you track or remind your team members of outstanding tasks?
The answer is simple; you can track the daily activities by using a workflow. The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian contains ad hoc workflow requirements in an environment to support work processes, including concurrent document modification practices, batch plotting, created work packages and multiple files.
10. E-Signatures
Do you think you waste too much time signing papers or documents? Your employees format a document, print it, sign it, and scan into the computer. It takes both time and money. In this digital age, there are new software innovations, like e-signatures. E-signature lets your employees sign documents in seconds. The business world acknowledges the advantages of these techniques for digital signatures. It is a comfortable and effective way to sign electronic documents. E-signatures prevent unnecessary delays also; it is a secure way to sign documents because traditional signatures can be forged or copied.
The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian e-signature provides a fast service to you and your company. This feature allows you to sign documents in seconds and enables you to send the signed documents without the need of envelopes, stamps, or delivery costs. It’s time to quit your traditional ink pen signature method. With the e-signature, it cuts down turnaround time by more than 80%.
Final Thoughts
Inefficient processes can lead to severe inefficiencies with your Corporate, Contractor, Project, Vendor, Operations, and Maintenance data and documents. You need a robust electronic document management system (EDMS) to make your processes efficient. The Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) – Meridian features provide robust capabilities for your enterprise-wide data and documents needs while also meeting your compliance requirements.
The next step is to determine the right Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) which was determined by your current Data and Document Management review and identified pain points and needs.

Vent-A-Hood was founded in 1933, creating residential ventilation for cooking. Vent-A-Hood was the first manufacturer of home cooking ventilation and range hoods and the creators of a proprietary system called the “Magic Lung”, which uniquely filters out grease and smoke to ensure fire safety to their vast number of customers. Currently, Vent-A-Hood employs a highly skilled workforce to achieve quality craftsmanship. A national as well as an international marketing program includes an impressive roster of distributors, many of which are second generation. Vent-A-Hood products are sold in all fifty states, as well as Canada.
Seamlessly Transitioning from Autodesk Configurator 360 to SolidCAD’s Variant
The Challenge
Vent-A-Hood have understood the benefits of configurators for many years. In fact, they were an alpha user of Autodesk Configurator 360, even before a beta was available. They found 3D modelling to be essential as they were previously using an image-based system to showcase their products. This was unsustainable as their products can be configured in a plethora of ways, even without including decorative attachments. Maintaining the image archive became unfeasible and changes were incredibly difficult to implement. They became one of the 1st ever companies to have Configurator 360 published for clients to use. It was this unique relationship with the Autodesk team that lead them to Variant.
Once Configurator 360 was no longer available, Vent-A-Hood knew they needed an alternative that could keep up with their complex needs. Knowing the company well, Autodesk recommended they reach out to us at SolidCAD regarding our in-house developed configurator product, Variant.
The Solution
Implementing Variant has been a smooth and collaborative effort. Mike Sy, Technology & Purchasing at Vent-A-Hood, said he was drawn to, “the simplicity of the menu system and its elegance.” He continued, saying, “It’s quite easy to navigate. It’s not like we had to publish new documentation just for people to use it because for anybody who’s online, it just makes sense. It’s just drop-down menu, change the option, click a button and you’re good to go.”
Since Variant uses Autodesk Forge Design Automation API for Inventor, it was able to directly leverage iLogic code in existing Vent-A-Hood models, avoiding time-consuming re-work while easily meeting expected timelines. The solution enabled their sales and engineering teams to work from a single source of truth without delays, errors, or miscommunication.
Variant is currently live on the Vent-A-Hood website as of April 2022 with an ongoing average rate of 2000 configurations added every month. SolidCAD is thrilled to continue working with Vent-A-Hood and for the exciting future updates, some of which the Vent-A-Hood team have helped envision.
SolidCAD is very easy to work with and all the timelines were dead on. I have great communication with the team and give them my thoughts on everything; they’re very receptive. The process has been very collaborative, it’s quite refreshing.

One fundamental responsibility of all service department leaders is to properly manage the assets under their charge until they reach end-of-life and must be disposed of. Able stewardship includes capital asset planning and the ability to determine the total cost of ownership (TCO) of those assets – and successful capital asset planning and TCO processes depend in part upon an appropriately maintained CMMS.
With a modern computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), you can take the available data values, calculate each cost area, and derive an accurate TCO for leadership planning. Coupled with precise in-service and end-of-life values, leadership now has a comprehensive, responsive and accurate capital planning tool that becomes a valuable commodity within your organization.
Capital Assets and TCO: The Basics
Before we explore which CMMS components are necessary for capital planning and TCO calculations, first let’s look at what we mean by a “capital asset.”
There are dictionary definitions such as “long-term assets either tangible or intangible (as land, buildings, patents, or franchises),” according to Merriam-Webster.
A general business definition could be an asset that has an acquisition cost of $5,000 or more, a useful life of more than one year, and use that contributes to revenue and/or profit for the business.
In my experience, most organizations have an internal definition used by the accounting department, and that’s what you’ll likely use when planning for capital asset disposition and replacement.
On the TCO front, total cost of ownership is a calculation of all costs associated with the asset. This will include the acquisition/original cost, operational costs and overhead costs for each asset. In CMMS-speak:
Operational costs are items such as:
Fuel and other costs to operate the asset (vehicles, generators, boilers, etc.)
Chemicals needed for proper production activities (chlorine, ash, phosphate, etc.)
Materials/parts needed for scheduled and reactive service events
Labor costs
Contract/vendor costs
Overhead costs include items such as:
Costs of the physical building/grounds the asset is in
Utilities costs in support of the operational environment
Administrative costs (clerical, records management, training/licensure, regulatory oversight, etc.)
Performing Proper Capital Planning and TCO Analyses
Consider this example. An analysis of 74,500 asset records produced the following results:
60% have no in-service dates
78% are missing acquisition cost
93% lack residual cost information
38% have no maintenance/service costs (and the other 62% don’t necessarily have full costs listed)
40% are missing labor/time costs
A mere 8% have material/part costs
Critical data values like the acquisition/original cost and resale values must be known to calculate TCO; without these pillar values, no true cost analysis can be performed. But all the listed values should be available for a complete capital planning or TCO analysis. Capital planning is forecasting ahead when an asset will need to be replaced, anticipating that expense, and amortizing it over the life of the asset.
Without those critical date and cost values, proper planning is difficult if not impossible.
When it comes to TCO, if your team is not accounting for the materials/parts used during service or maintenance activities, you lose a large expense in the TCO. Inaccurate or missing labor costs will skew a TCO and make it look like your TCO is much lower than reality. If assets are covered under contracts, those costs must be associated with the individual assets and properly accounted for in operational costs. For instance, if you’re using $500 a week in chemicals to treat potable water but your team is not connecting them to the asset consuming them, then the TCO calculation becomes inaccurate.
Now that we’ve covered what goes into capital planning and TCO calculations, it begs the question: Why don’t most CMMS systems contain these values?
My experience has been that many of these data values are provided at time of purchase, but they are not entered into the CMMS because the enterprise does not have the proper processes in place. Unfortunately, this forces service department leadership to rely on other departments (like accounting or materials management) for these values or to make a best guess.
But properly updating a CMMS with critical data values, such as the date the asset was placed into service, can enable those values to serve as the basis for projected replacement and annual depreciation values. Documenting an asset’s expected end-of-life allows you to budget properly for the costs to replace it.

With data breaches and ransomware attacks becoming more common – and more severe – by the day, it’s understandable to have concerns or confusion about security and cloud applications. This includes your computerized maintenance management system (CMMS).
The good news? Many common security concerns simply aren’t applicable to modern cloud-based CMMS systems. Here’s everything you need to know about cloud security and your CMMS system.
The Bigger Context: Understanding The Cloud And Cloud CMMS Systems Today
General Cloud Facts Today
The term “the cloud” usually refers to a network of servers, each of which has a specific function or purpose. So, rather than your information being stored in your in-house hard drive, it is stored on these servers. When individuals or companies move something to the cloud, they are generally making a switch from hardware to cloud-based infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) or software-as-a-service (SaaS).
The reason for this? In general, cloud-based tools can offer more scalability, efficiency, security, and agility than their on-premise counterparts. This can facilitate digital transformation and company-wide modernization. It can also facilitate work in a multi-site or remote environment – which is more vital than ever in the wake of COVID-19.
Looking with more detail, consistent cloud SaaS benefits include:
Increased Security: Cloud-based systems are generally managed by vendors or providers, and these teams are vigilant about staying on top of patches and other security protocols. What’s more, these updates are generally automated, which can take a significant strain off your IT team.
Improved Scalability: Hardware is expensive and difficult to scale. Cloud systems, on the other hand, have unmatched scalability and flexibility, both of which can facilitate technological growth as your company evolves.
Maximized Connectivity: It is easier to connect SaaS-based systems thanks to tools like APIs. This makes it easier to store and manipulate data across devices, technologies and websites.
Lower Software Price: Hardware generally requires a significant up-front cost for purchase installation, as well as high maintenance fees. Cloud solutions, on the other hand, run on monthly or annual subscriptions, leading to a lower up-front cost.
Higher Availability and Reliability: If you have a strong vendor, your cloud solutions can have faster uptime, more availability and increased reliability.
Cloud-Based CMMS Systems
All of this is certainly true when it comes to cloud-based CMMS systems. There are also many additional benefits that can come with deployed a cloud-based computerized maintenance management tool. These include:
Mobile capabilities: With a cloud-based CMMS, you simply need a device and an internet connection to be able to access your software. This allows technicians to upload photos, update work orders and access other vital information directly at their point of need. This is particularly vital in the multi-site post-COVID manufacturing world we live in today.
Increased scalability: With a cloud-based CMMS, you can scale your systems according to your team’s current bandwidth and needs. You can also add or remove users as the makeup of your team changes, which is important for uptime and controlled access to your mission-critical data.
More user-friendly systems: With a cloud-based CMMS like Maintenance Connection, security updates and system upgrades are automatic, hands-off processes. All you need to do is log in and accept the update – and sometimes, even this part is automated. Plus, your important information is automatically backed up on a regular basis, and if you have a system malfunction, your vendor should provide support and troubleshooting assistance.
Increased cost-effectiveness: There are both short-term and long-term cost-savings associated with a cloud-based CMMS deployment. Immediately, there are lower up-front deployment costs. In the long term, there are lower software maintenance costs and decreased security risk. Additionally, more software availability means increased team productivity and efficiency over time.
Increased productivity: This deserves its own point. Because users simply need to log in to begin working on a cloud-based system, employees across departments will immediately be able to access their assets, parts and inventory, work orders, reports, cost tracking, scheduling, purchasing, etc. This means immediate efficiency and up-time.
Faster disaster recovery: With a cloud system, automatic and managed back-ups are included in your monthly subscription, and your data is continuously backed up to multiple servers in multiple locations. Even if you have one server failure, then, your information will still be available elsewhere.
Common Security Concerns With Cloud-Based Computerized Maintenance Management Systems
So, what’s the hold-up? What security concerns do people still have about a cloud-based CMMS – and is there any validity to any of these concerns? Well, many concerns are baseless with modern tools, including the idea that a cloud-based CMMS is inherently more vulnerable to security attacks. That said, there are some common security concerns that you should consider. These include:
Poor Visibility
As we mentioned, cloud software allows access from many devices, locations and users. This is a huge benefit of a cloud-based CMMS system, but it can also introduce confusion and poor visibility, particularly if you are unclear about this infrastructure and what your users are accessing, viewing and downloading. This is a definite concern to consider when choosing your cloud-based CMMS.
Compliance Concerns
Industries like manufacturing, oil & gas and healthcare are highly regulated, which means that you must adhere to strict and ever-changing compliance requirements. Careless or unclear data transfer in the cloud can make this difficult – as can lack of clarity into where your data is, who has it and how it’s being used. The right software won’t have this lack of visibility.
Insider Threats
No, you likely don’t have double agents working in your organization and trying to break down your security. That said, lack of training and negligence could open your organization up to vulnerabilities. You have to make sure that your employees, contractors and business partners have the information they need to keep your technology safe.
Insecure APIs
Application user interfaces, or APIs, are often built into web or mobile applications to connect disparate tools or systems. The problem? External-facing APIs can be a cloud security risk, providing a gateway from which cybercriminals can enter your system and access your data. This must be kept top-of-mind.
A Misconfiguration Of Cloud Services
If your system isn’t configured correctly, it could cause your data to be manipulated, exposed or even deleted. Make sure that your CMMS vendor knows this and knows how to prevent issues like mismatched access management or insecure default security and access management settings.
Poor Cloud Security Strategy
You can’t put the cart before the horse – or, in this case, you can’t rush to get a cloud CMMS deployment live before you’ve developed a comprehensive CMMS security strategy. This is a common mistake and one you should avoid.
How To Effectively Secure Your Modern SaaS CMMS Systems
Address Your Concerns Proactively
To maintain your cloud-based CMMS security through deployment and beyond, it’s important that you keep the above concerns top-of-mind and address them as you choose your CMMS vendor and move forward with your cloud deployment and maintenance. That means having processes in place to:
Protect your data while it is in transit and at rest
Identity and user authentication, including SSO
Compliance and security integrations
Maximize your visibility and control over your systems
Protect your assets and your team
Maximize team and personnel security
Vet your vendor (more on this below)
Ultimately, this can help your organization:
Ward off growing cybersecurity threats
Avoid any major data breaches or data loss
Maintain business continuity
Avoid compliance and auditing concerns
You Can’t Forget Your Best Practices
Another important key is to find a system – and a vendor – that takes a comprehensive approach to their CMMS security. Overall, you and your vendor must keep several things top of mind, including:
Identity and access management: An identity and access management (IAM) system – including things like multi-factor authentication and defined user access policies— should always be in place to help you control access to information.
Physical security: Make sure that your vendor is doing what they can to prevent access to the hardware housed in their data center. This includes having uninterrupted power supplies, CCTV, fire protection and more.
Encryption: Encryption encodes your data assets when they’re at rest and in transit, thereby providing another level of data security.
Vulnerability and penetration testing: During this testing, your own team will try to hack into your system to check for vulnerabilities or security issues.
Firewalls: Next-generation firewalls have many features that are needed in a modern context, including IP blocking, packet filtering, domain name blocking and port blocking.
Threat intelligence, monitoring and prevention: Threat intelligence systems, intrusion detection systems (IDS) and intrusion prevention systems (IPS) help alert your team to attacks so you can effectively respond.
Train Your Team
When it comes to CMMS security, your users will always be your first line of defense – and possibly your biggest weakness. Make sure that your team consistently knows:
How to spot malware
The risks of insecure practices
Any industry-specific training needed for advanced users
The importance of user access best practices
Final Thoughts
The cloud isn’t inherently insecure, and you can have a successful cloud CMMS deployment without increased security risk. That said, it’s important that you have your CMMS security infrastructure in place and that you’re aware of key risks and considerations to keep top of mind.
When working on any design, it’s helpful to have data readily available. Typically, when we need to see certain properties of an object in AutoCAD, we would have to select the item and open its properties window.
If you are familiar with AutoCAD, you may know that there is a “Roll Over Tooltip” feature. This lets you hover your curser over an object and see certain information related to it. By default, the information we see is basic. Such as layer, color, and line type.
Did you know that Plant 3D utilises this feature as well? As you can see below, hovering over a valve brings up specific Plant 3D information. This is very helpful when we need to require information quickly.
But what if the information displayed is not enough? By going into the AutoCAD CUI settings, we can toggle additional fields for the tool tip. In this example, I have turned on Long Description (Size).
Hovering over the component now displays the Long Description information as well.
The AutoCAD CUI settings has integrated Plant 3D properties with its tool tips feature. It has given us the ability to toggle additional information from your Plant 3D design. Thanks for tuning in and I hope this information is useful.
