Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 23, 2005 -- Microgeo S.A., a provider of IT
solutions for the engineering environment, SYNAPSIS, a provider of business
management solutions and consulting services to public sector institutions, and
Cyco Software, a leading provider of Engineering Data Management (EDM)
solutions, announced today that Chilectra S.A. has selected to implement Cyco
AutoManager Meridian to manage all of its engineering documentation. Chilectra
is the largest electric utility in Chile providing power to both residents and
businesses.
For the last 82 years, Chilectra has been delivering
electricity to the 33 boroughs in the metropolitan region of Santiago, Chile's
capital. The company serves more than 1,3 million customers that make up
approximately 45% of the Chilean energy market. Cyco AutoManager Meridian
provides the company secure, timely and reliable access to the thousands of
drawings that map out Chilectra's power grid.
With Cyco AutoManager
Meridian, the company maintains consistency between the as-built records in the
central document database and work in progress documentation out in the field.
In case of an emergency or maintenance, the software delivers immediate access
to the right information. In addition, it provides secure access to people in
the entire organization who need to keep abreast of engineering changes and plan
infrastructure developments.
"We are extremely pleased with Cyco
AutoManager Meridian," says Jose Antonio Perez, Document Management
Administrator with Chilectra. "It helps us to make sure we are always working
with the correct version of important infrastructure drawings, and it provides
us with a quick overview of entire projects."
The implementation of Cyco
AutoManager Meridian at Chilectra marks another successful collaboration between
Microgeo, SYNAPSIS and Cyco Software. Chilectra has outsourced all of its
information technology needs to SYNAPSIS. The consulting firm worked with
Microgeo to implement a customized engineering data management solution for
Chilectra with Cyco AutoManager Meridian. "There is a natural fit between our
companies," says Hector Tapia, Project Director with SYNAPSIS. Alejandro Leniz,
Head of Microgeo's data management group, fully agrees. "We're looking forward
to working with Cyco Software and SYNAPSIS to continue to deliver
state-of-the-art data management products and services to satisfy demand in
South America's electrical market."
