Meridio, a worldwide enterprise document and records management (eDRM) software company, and AmVia, a local value-added IT solutions distributor, announced an exclusive partnership agreement to address the growing requirement for information superiority solutions in Africa.
Organisations in Africa are responding to the challenges of managing large volumes of electronic documents, e-mails and other unstructured content and mitigating the potential liability of their information while maximising the asset of their corporate memory for information superiority. Investment in information superiority solutions can achieve significant competitive advantage and higher shareholder returns. Meridio develops eDRM solutions exclusively for Microsoft platforms and has grown quickly in the last five years with its rapid deployment, enterprise-wide information superiority solutions for both the public and private sectors. Meridio solutions enable organisations to integrate their existing information sources seamlessly and securely. Users can access the full functionality of the Meridio solution via familiar Microsoft tools, maximising adoption and reducing training overheads.
Kevin Hurwitz, Managing Director of AmVia, said: "This partnership with Meridio is an important one for AmVia as it fills a gap we had in our enterprise content management (ECM) portfolio. Being strong Microsoft partners ourselves, we understand the value of partnerships with technology players who are able to provide powerful solutions that can slot into a native Microsoft environment, Meridio is one of these players."
"Companies are increasingly looking for effective tools which will assist them in reducing operating costs, meeting regulatory compliance obligations, managing risk, and provide a secure environment for mission-critical business information. We believe Meridio eDRM is not only one of the most cost-effective alternatives in this market, but is technologically superior to its competitors," ends Hurwitz.
Mark Gretorex, President of Meridio EMEA, said: "We are delighted to be working with AmVia and they will be significantly increasing the focus on the Meridio products in the South African market, a market where we believe there is much potential."
Greatorex continued: "AmVia was selected as a partner because they met all of our stringent partner selection criteria. Our joint solutions will help organisations in SA regain control of their information assets, release their hidden value and increase the prosperity of many business sectors."
During the last year, Meridio has expanded its business worldwide through working with leading system integrators and value-added distributors in business sectors where enterprise compliance and business improvement through secure document management is essential. The agreement with AmVia places increased emphasis on the significant potential in Africa.
