The Meridium community of users is made up of people of outstanding ability, experience, and professionalism. They are geographically dispersed, operate in a broad range of industries, and have asset performance management programs operating at various maturity levels. Collectively, their diverse experience and expertise represent a significant source of asset performance knowledge. Since 1993, Meridium users have been actively sharing their APM knowledge through Meridium Focus Groups. In the past, Meridium Focus Groups have met twice a year - once at Meridium Conference and six months later in Houston or Roanoke. Most other communication was via email. Many members have asked for a blog, or online forum, to expand and enhance communications, knowledge sharing, and feedback to Meridium Product Managers and Development Teams.
Meridium Focus Groups now live on LinkedIn
Using LinkedIn, Meridium Focus Group members are now able to electronically share experiences, locate people with expertise, identify best practices, and pinpoint gaps in knowledge at their facilities, regardless of time zones, budgets, or work schedules.
Content for the electronic forums is driven by users and facilitated by a Meridium subject-matter-expert who will help with the flow of information and keep discussions on accomplishing clear objectives.
How are the Meridium Focus Groups organized?
In order to facilitate a user community connected by interest, Meridium offers four Focus Groups:
Meridium Focus Groups, and the new online forums on LinkedIn, are examples of Meridium's continued commitment to developing the finest asset performance management products and services based on valuable customer input, and providing a collaborative, knowledge-sharing culture where our users can learn, problem solve, and achieve maximum value from their Meridium investment.
