AMS strives to be the leader of delivering innovative software to effectively increase overall design productivity in the engineering workplace. We are committed to excellence in CAD, CAFM, and Document Management solutions.
AMS CAD + CAFM Solutions is a leader in providing creative solutions for customers to increase their productivity primarily in the field of Engineering and Computer Aided Design and Drafting (CADD). Our company has been in business for twenty (20) years and has over ten (10) years experience in implementing CADD & document management solutions for our customers. We have continued to develop new skills and experience as document management, CAFM, and CADD software have developed over the years. Our exceptional team members have taken the word “productivity” to a new level by using multimedia and OEM tools to develop software solutions that have made our clients as much as 800% more productive. AMS has achieved the status as both an Authorized OEM Partner and Registered Developer with Autodesk. Our experience with document management software implementation has earned the status from BlueCielo (Cyco) as a Business Partner implementing their software for Engineering Document Management (EDM) or Engineering Content Management (ECM) environments. Today, we continue to leverage technology to our clients’ advantage in the workplace.
The AMS Approach to EDM
Planning
Since AMS began offering document management solutions in 1993, we have consulted with a wide variety of companies about their document management strategies. Today, we are proud to include very large (Fortune 500) companies as well as mid-size and smaller businesses among our satisfied customers. Regardless of their size, our customers share a common desire to improve productivity and reduce costs through customization of their companies' design environment. Our goal at AMS is to team with our customers to assist them in achieving their goals through the successful implementation of an integrated document management system. A well-designed, properly integrated, document management solution can assist a company in achieving many of their desired objectives. A poorly designed solution can be a costly mistake. Experience has proven the most successful implementations of document management result from proper planning. Therefore, we focus a great deal of attention to the planning phase of a project. Here is the approach we take:
Assessment and Evaluation
In this first phase we will assess and evaluate your current situation using a process of interviews with management and key users. After we learn about how you are operating today, we concentrate on understanding your requirements and goals for the future.
Needs Analysis/Specifications Definition
Once we have researched your current situation and your requirements, we will design an integrated solution to address your needs. We present the system specification we develop in a well organized, easy to read proposal of the features and benefits associated with the solutions we recommend.
Project Management & Communication
An often-overlooked area of software development/implementation is project management. AMS stays close to the project by keeping a Project Manager (PM) in charge of the scope of work. The PM initiates a kick-off meeting, additional weekly phone conferences, and is in constant communication via voice and email as needed. The PM also oversees risk assessment and quality assurance (QA). We recognize that poor communication results in scope of work discrepancies, loss of details, and overall frustrations. We go out of our way to avoid this by providing quality project management.
Design & Development
Design and development of the system will often require the cooperation of more than one department in a company. Integrated document management solutions affect not only the Engineering department but in many cases, the Information Systems or Information Technologies Departments.
Pilot Testing
Experience has shown us that the best implementations begin with a pilot environment. AMS will work closely with your team to test a system we have developed for you and make adjustments as necessary.
Quality Assurance
At the completion of each incremental step of implementation and upon integration with other applications AMS performs tests to ensure the accuracy and quality of our work. Subsequently, when the pilot system is deployed, we track and correct any additional issues that may arise.
Training
Proper training helps to accelerate the return on investment. While every document management system differs in design, each inherently will have multiple levels of access and privilege. AMS offers custom user guides and training for each level of user designated by the system design.
Support
While our objective is to deliver a fully operational, trouble-free solution, we realize the need to offer additional post-implementation support. In an attempt to provide customers with the appropriate level of support we offer a variety of AMS support options to choose from.
Users
The type of users that will be accessing the system will need to be discussed and will ultimately help identify the type(s) and number of Meridian clients that will be required. This will include selecting a pilot team and their roles to be tested in the system. AMS will advise on training requirements and materials for the users.
