About
Meridian
Meridian Informatics was formed in 1989 then,
in a frenzy of entrepreneurial confidence, the MIS staff of a major
Australian diversified public company decided to outsource themselves.
From this foundation many of Meridian’s key
enduring and defining characteristics were established; flexibility,
customer & business solution orientation, longer term perspective, a
focus (almost passion) on delivering working solutions and ensuring that
these solutions continue to deliver value.
Throughout the 1990s Meridian focused and
refined its approach, technologies and methods to guarantee successful
implementation of business solutions and to maintain the relevance of those
in a changing world.
Today we deliver financial service solutions that turn our
client’s strategic & tactical business concepts into reality; delivered
faster, with greater certainty, for less initial & on-going cost; and we
maintain and enhance these throughout their long productive life. We pay special
attention to liberating business intelligence and meaningful reporting from
the volume of operational data.

History for

international organisations in Asia, Europe and North
America.

Our
Team & Partners
In an industry said to have many smart (?)
individuals and organisations we claim a key distinction; the approach,
skill, motivation, culture and experience of our team. These have enabled
Meridian to claim 100% project delivery success since our formation and some
relationships with clients lasting more than a decade.
While many vendors claim past project
successes it is often difficult to still find within those organisations the
actual individuals or teams that delivered these projects. When Meridian
claims project delivery we have done it with teams still working together in
Meridian, teams who have been working together for perhaps 10+ years and who
have delivered multiple similar projects as a team, learning together from
their successes and less frequent mistakes, ("opportunities for improvement").
Profiles of our key resources are in
Senior Team Members. While we have a tradition of
self reliance as an organisation we benefit from and depend on some
important partners and collaborators, an overview of some of these is
contained in Meridian's Partners.
Vision
Meridian has always followed client and
delivery focused
principles what have more recently become expressed in "Agile Methodologies"
and more specifically in the
Agile Alliance Manifesto.
In Meridian's view among the more important of
the principles are,
|
 |
"Our highest priority is to satisfy the
customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software" |
|
 |
"Delivered
working
software is the primary measure of our progress" |
Our corporate vision and mission are also summed up
in meanings of the two words that form
our name, see
About Our Name for some details.
