New and Advanced BlueCielo Capabilities
While most of our customers use BlueCielo ECM Solutions
(formerly Cyco Software) Meridian and TeamWork products for
basic CAD and general document management along with some
workflow, more of our customers and prospects are becoming
interested in some of the newer advanced modules and
capabilities offered by BlueCielo. These include:
Global Collaboration Framework (GCF) The GCF module
is invaluable for companies that need to share files
(especially large CAD files) between multiple company
locations. GCF provides multi-site synchronization and
replication of files and data so that users at all sites
have fast timely local file access and are automatically
kept updated on document status and content changes as they
occur at all other company locations.
InnoCielo Publisher This module can automate
perform many functions automatically based on the release of
documents or other workflow events including publishing of
documents to PDF format, e-mailing or plotting of documents,
passage of data to ERP or other in-house business systems,
publication of documents to FTP servers or other in-house
document management systems, etc.
Microsoft Sharepoint Integration As Sharepoint
gains popularity as a low end document sharing tool,
BlueCielo saw the need to tie its software to Sharepoint to
allow engineers and other users with advanced needs to use
their software and then seamlessly make the results
available to other users throughout the organization by
accessing documents and data via Microsoft Sharepoint.
E-Mail Management To allow for the automated
routing, storage and retrieval of all e-mails and their
attachments that relate to a given project, job or customer.
BlueCielos e-mail management software can monitor Microsoft
Exchange and Lotus Notes e-mail servers and then
automatically route e-mails and their attachments to the
proper folder in BlueCielos Meridian system.
Transmittal Management To coordinate collaboration,
exchange of data and project/job handover with external
engineering and manufacturing firms including logging of
audit trails, automated reminders and support for all
methods of transmittal (paper, CD, e-mail, FTP, etc.)
While the above modules are suitable for companies in all
industries and for all types of users and departments, the
modules below are targeted toward the facilities engineering
market:

maintenance management systems (including Maximo, SAP PM
and Datastream) to automate the integration between
assets, plant operations and the required technical
documentation.
-
Secure management of the as-built environment while

projects and their associated technical documents even
if some documents are related to multiple projects
Advanced Project Workflow To enable multiple
disciplines along with both internal and external design
resources to engineer concurrently across multiple
overlapping projects including the ability to track due
dates, do progress reporting, perform parallel reviews,
receive automatic notification of document changes, set up
configurable distribution rules and more.
