Meridio

Meridio was founded as a private UK company in 2001 with the objective of becoming the leading software company developing enterprise Document and Records Management (eDRM) software for use on Microsoft® platforms and to take a visionary approach leading the market in making Electronic Document and Records Management (EDRM) software available as a mass-adoption option for organizations implemented enterprise-wide. Implementing eDRM had previously been seen as a major system project, which required organizations to address culture change, process redesign, significant new IT infrastructure development and to implement a major training program. Standalone EDRM solutions have proven to be expensive, risky and often have failed to move beyond the pilot stage. Where they have, the business benefits resulting from deployment have not lived up to their promises. It was clear that a better approach was needed if EDRM was to move from being a pressing need for organizations to have a technology that is proven and guaranteed to provide the potential benefits enterprise-wide. By focusing on making EDRM as easy to use and as automated as possible Meridio quickly became a leading global supplier of Enterprise Document and Records solutions regularly winning has won major awards at the Information Management awards in London including uniquely, Document Management Product of the Year in 2001, 2002 and 2003. In 2002 Meridio opened its first US office. Offices in Canada and Australia were opened in 2004.

Meridio was acquired by Autonomy Corporation PLC in 2007. The acquisition brings together two organizations with a rich history of delivering successful solutions that meet the growing business needs of their respective industries, and significant business value to customers through innovative and market-leading engineered solutions. The addition of Meridio's best-in-class enterprise Document and Records Management capabilities to the Autonomy Product Group enhances Autonomy's spectrum of solutions for proactive information risk management from data collection through to production. In addition, Meridio's enterprise Document and Records Management offering connects Autonomy solutions to content in other certified records management systems, elevating the management of unstructured information to a new level. The combination of technologies delivers governance solutions that will help an organization comply with regulations, manage the impact of litigation and improve business processes.
