There are three trends or “demand drivers” in our Services Map. Meridian is configured to support these trends.
- Technology: Clients continue to implement Commercial Off-The-Shelf Software (COTS), principally Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) suites; to develop and implement Custom Software, typically using Agile, Traditional Waterfall, or some blended development approach; and are increasingly considering the cloud—Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings.
- Process: Clients will forever need to improve process performance, most often by adopting some elements of the LEAN Process Improvement approach.
- People: Clients pursue diverse programmatic change to improve organizational performance and efficiency, including mergers & acquisitions, organizational re-alignments, the creation of shared services centers, and the deployment of new sales, delivery, and support models.
