July 26, 2006—Meridian Systems has announced successful market adoption for Prolog software within the Chinese construction and engineering industry. Meridian Systems is a provider of enterprise project management software for optimizing capital projects, programs, and facilities.
Meridian authorized reseller Project AIMS has jointly developed with Meridian a Chinese localized version of Prolog Manager and the Prolog Web site. ProjectAIMS has successfully implemented Prolog at several major Chinese firms, allowing them to embrace these project management and collaboration solutions in their native language.
Prolog provides total project management control for construction projects by automating day-to-day task and processes, from project design to close-out.
Eleven leading Chinese construction and engineering firms have adopted the Chinese localized version of Prolog. Among them are: Alcatel Shanghai Bell Co.; CISDI Engineering Co., Ltd.; East China Power Transmission & Transformation Engineering Company; Electrification Railway Bureau; Shanghai Installation Engineering Co.; Shanghai Hong Kong Metro Construction Management Co. (SHKMCM).
Shanghai Hong Kong Metro Construction Management Co., Ltd., uses Prolog to enable efficient communication and collaboration on the railway transportation Shensong Line Phase I Project (L9) in Shanghai. Almost 40 design institutions, supervision companies, agencies, civil and E&M contractors have been involved in the construction process.
The volume of project information and correspondence has been massive, including engineering drawings, red title documents, engineering business contact lists, RFIs, submittals, meeting minutes, and more. Using Prolog allows SHKMCM to improve worker productivity and to create continuity and efficiency with project controls.
CISDI has successively untaken the design for more than 200 steel enterprises and other industrial enterprises in 30 provinces, municipalities, and regions throughout China. Their primary goal in adopting Prolog was to streamline contract management and improve project budget and cost management.
