| Santiago, Chile – August 04, 2004
– Microgeo S.A., a provider of IT
solutions for the engineering environment, and
Cyco Software, the leading provider of Engineering
Data Management (EDM) solutions, announced today
that MlNMETAL S.A., one of Chile's largest
engineering and construction management companies,
has selected Cyco AutoManager Meridian for the
management of all its engineering data and related
administrative documentation. MINMETAL provides
integrated solutions in the Mining & Metals,
Infrastructure and Industrial markets. With an
average workforce of 400 engineers, constructors,
technicians and support staff, the company takes
on full engineering, construction, procurement and
operational responsibilities for its clients.
Their services generated investments of over US$ 3
billion in 2003.
In 2002, Minmetal started an in-depth
investigation to obtain the right data management
system that would allow the company to efficiently
manage CAD drawings and related documents in
combination with comprehensive search functions
throughout the entire product data lifecycle.
Cyco AutoManager Meridian was selected after
careful analysis of a number of different
products. Cyco Software's flagship EDM system was
selected mainly because of its extensive
customization options, integration with enterprise
automation systems, compatibility with a range of
different CAD applications and its competitive
price.
MINMETAL also notes Cyco Software's strong
global presence and its support organization in
Chile through Microgeo as a major reason to adopt
Cyco AutoManager Meridian.
"Cyco AutoManager Meridian offers the
possibility to develop the complex workflows that
the production of our drawings and documents
require," said Roy MacKennedy, Chief Information
Officer with MINMETAL. "MINMETAL has gained
absolute control with Cyco AutoManager Meridian of
all components that influence the production of
electronic documents. We have achieved immediate
results after its implementation by being able to
store drawings automatically and retrieve them at
any point in the design, engineering and
construction phase."
"We are happy to see MINMETAL's confidence in
our company and the Cyco AutoManager Meridian
solution," said Robert Richter, Commercial Manager
for Microgeo S.A. The company has been MINMETAL's
technical software supplier for over a decade.
"This impressive EDM project was implemented with
the hard work of the MINMETAL technical team that
was trained in all the fundamental aspects of the
product, in conjunction with the specialized
consulting services of Microgeo."
