Meridian Platform User Acceptance Testing Milestone
FMPA has been working with Kinsmen Group to refine the Meridian platform to warehouse and manage engineering documents across all generating sites. The User Acceptance Testing (UAT) milestone has been reached, and Kinsmen will now work to remove duplicate documents from the system, enhance searchability and develop a training plan for rollout to the sites. The product will greatly enhance interaction and document control across sites and with contractors in a cloud-based environment. Contact: Tim Jackson
