FOLSOM, CALIF. — Meridian Systems’ Prolog Converge is a web-based project management application powered by Prolog, an industry standard for successful construction project delivery. Prolog Converge, available in November 2009, combines a web-based user interface on a web services platform. Prolog Converge provides project management capabilities in the areas of collaboration, reporting, document management, as well as mobile solutions and BIM integration.
Today’s construction project teams face many collaboration challenges including how to bring project team members together across geographical locations, in online and offline environments, and across different technology systems and devices. Prolog Converge leverages the Prolog Web services platform to integrate technology systems together, improving user access to project information.
Prolog Converge benefits include:
- keeping project teams on the same page by allowing team members and applications to work together in a real-time online, environment;
- increasing user adoption through role-based user interfaces;
- making decisions quickly using up-to-date project data from field workers using mobile solutions;
- reducing project schedules with real-time collaboration among extended project teams, including owners, general contractors, designer, and subcontractors;
- increasing efficiencies by enabling interoperability between construction project management and other critical business applications; and
- lowering risk by integrating BIM data with project management systems.
Additionally, Prolog Converge can increase user adoption through the use of familiar, role-based user interfaces such as custom Microsoft Office Business Applications (OBAs). OBAs allow bi-directional data exchange between Microsoft Excel, Word, Outlook, and SharePoint and Prolog. OBAs can be tailored to various project team roles or to automate specific work tasks.
More information about Prolog software is available online. Meridian also offers a pre-recorded webinar to AEC industry members seeking more information on Prolog Converge.
