Case Study: Seattle City Light improves asset information control and workflow with Accruent EMS

Seattle City Light streamlines access for 300,000 documents with Accruent EMS

Seattle City Light, a major public utility serving Seattle, faced significant challenges in managing its vast library of over 300,000 engineering documents and drawings. Without a single source of truth, the organization struggled with inefficient searches, inconsistent workflows, and loose change control, which led to costly project delays. To address this, they turned to Accruent and its Meridian engineering document management software.

By implementing Accruent's Meridian, Seattle City Light established a centralized system that provided automatic title block syncing, configurable metadata, and web-based access for field crews. The solution from Accruent streamlined collaboration, expedited project delivery, and increased employee productivity through faster search and retrieval. Furthermore, it ensured the utility's compliance with critical industry regulations like FERC and NERC.
