Welcome to our September update. Meridian upgrades are being finalised with Curtin University and BHP. Upgrades are in progress with NRG and Evoenergy, and in the planning stage with Icon Water, Capral, and Qenos.

With Meridian 2021 well established, and the R2 update coming online, it's a good time to start planning and scheduling this year's upgrade, so please contact us if you'd like to start the discussion.

To provide information that better targets the various industries we work with, we're excited to introduce new Industry focus areas to our website.

We kicked off with Utilities, and can now announce resources for the Life Sciences and Higher Education sectors.

Exploring these pages, you'll find links to eBooks, webinars, and case studies to provide you with a head start to learn more about the challenges facing your organisation and discover how these can be addressed.

We'll be adding to these with dedicated pages for Manufacturing, Infrastructure (road, rail, ports, and airports), and Metals & Mining.

If you're after more general information on how engineering content management differs from standard enterprise document management, check out our page for the other engineering disciplines.

The Lunr blog shares a number of recent publications, including a summary of how our solutions can be tailored for the higher education sector.

There's also a short introductory video that demonstrates some of the main features of Lunr:

There's a wealth of information online, or contact us to get started with a 10-user plan to manage all of your engineering content in one cloud-based repository, all hosted within Australia.

Accruent has introduced the 2021 R2 release for on-premise sites. Here are the main features:

We can also expect an additional 2021 R3 release with bug fixes and minor enhancements in mid-November.

From next year, the major annual Meridian release is scheduled for June to provide integrations in sync with the annual Autodesk release. The major release will be followed by an R2 release in November.
