Case Study: Huntsman Corporation achieves controlled document exchange and faster engineering access with Accruent Meridian

How the global manufacturer gains operational efficiency and lowers costs through improved search, retrieval, and processing of engineering documents

Huntsman Corporation, a global chemicals manufacturer with more than 10,000 employees, $8B+ in revenue and operations in 30+ countries, needed better control of its engineering documents and archived records. The company formed a project team to find an easy-to-use system that would manage all engineering drawings and support secure information exchange with external contractors.

Huntsman implemented Accruent Meridian integrated with SAP PM to provide a secure vault, check-in/check-out tracking, change project workflows and controlled contractor exchanges. Hundreds of engineers now use Meridian daily, enabling faster access and updates to drawings, reduced errors, a 5% cut in information management costs, improved accuracy and audit trails, and immediate availability of documentation for Regulatory, Health & Safety and Maintenance teams.
