Remedi Electronic Commerce Group Finishes 2010 With Record Performance

Posted by Tracy Loetz on Feb 24, 2011 3:17 AM


Columbus, OH (PRWEB) February 24, 2011  — Remedi Electronic Commerce Group, a Business and Data Integration organization providing consulting, software, training, managed services, and recruiting & placement solutions, announced today that it bested prior performance for the second consecutive year on a variety of key metrics for which the company measures. Contributing to its success was a broadening of focus from B2Bi, EDI, and EAI, to include ETL, data integration & warehouse, and business intelligence technologies. Other growth factors include the expansion of sales, marketing, and sourcing staff, strengthening of key partnerships, increased delivery of managed services, and ongoing integration thought leadership initiatives.

calendar“2010 was a bounce back year for most given challenges of the Great Recession. To combat challenges and prepare for a return to growth, Remedi partnered with clients on a wide spectrum of initiatives. For many, assistance included EDI managed services to accommodate growing integration requirements without growing staff.  Other projects involved gaining leverage against competitors through upgrades to integration environments and efficiency enhancements through automation. Our work with clients allowed for flexibility in an ever changing environment providing variable staff through consulting, staff supplementation, and managed services. Assistance on the recruiting front also proved valuable to clients as they sought to expand full-time staff when needs trended long term” according to President Brad Loetz.  “By serving clients interested in utilizing business and data integration tools, training, and technologists, we have been able to help clients get a jump on the recovery and continue doing more with less resulting in various operational, financial, and performance related successes in 2010”.

EDI is still considered a technical process rather than a business process.
