Hagerman & Company has implemented the Meridian and TeamWork software from BlueCielo ECM Solutions (formerly Cyco Software) for approximately eight years. During that time, we have implemented the software for over 100 companies involved in product and/or facilities engineering. Over the past few years, BlueCielo has brought out a lot of new functionality designed for the facilities engineering market. Even if you are an existing Meridian or TeamWork customer, you may want to learn more about these exciting new capabilities!

In the area of facilities engineering, BlueCielo does far more than the traditional “document management” solution that you may already have or have seen in the past. BlueCielo is a provider of total engineering content management solutions that support the creation, exchange and distribution of technical asset information in all phases of the asset information lifecycle. While BlueCielo provides all the capabilities of traditional document management systems including security, CAD integration, check in, check out, revision histories, search and retrieval, viewing, printing and redlining, reporting, property pages, etc., BlueCielo’s major capabilities include:
