Onset Updates

Some big news returning from Synergy, where Onset was awarded the BlueCielo Partner of the year for the second consecutive year. There was a full conference schedule with presentations on Meridian Cloud and the new BlueCielo licensing model, as well as benefits leveraged by the Accruent acquisition.

Partners meet at Synergy 2018

We congratulate Marco (again) on achieving the status of Certified Specialist with BlueCielo. As one of only twelve consultants in the world with this accreditation, this is a great acknowledgement for Marco and a big plus for Onset.

Back home, new implementations with SA Water and Cristal Mining are progressing well, together with Meridian upgrades underway at Sydney Water, ActewAGL and Powerco.

Mondelez (formerly Kraft Foods) has also upgraded to Meridian 2017. Suttontown, in South Australia, is the Australian home of Philadelphia Cheese and Meridian hosts the drawings for the processing and storage equipment. Philadelphia (also known as "Philly") is the world's most popular cream cheese.

Upgrade planning has also commenced with NZAS and Dyno Nobel, with many organisations rolling out Windows 10 and upgrading older Windows 2008 servers.

BlueCielo News

Meridian Cloud is now available and a new SaaS licensing model applies for new sites. Built on Microsoft Azure, Meridian Cloud is now available for customers looking for a hosted solution. Of course the on-premise solution is still available and now named Meridian Server.

For new sites, BlueCielo has moved to a subscription (only) licensing model with 3 product levels and the addition of Meridian Analytics. Meridian Analytics is a cloud service extension that leverages the embedded intelligence of your vaults with features such as metadata analysis.
