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”.

Managed Services and Outsourcing, 2010 Fads or Here to Stay?

Posted by Scott Hulme on Dec 30, 2010 5:27 AM


As we head into 2011, one of the most popular offering our customers took advantage of in 2010 was our Managed Services offering.  It seems that as companies looked for ways to streamline their operations and  regulate their costs more effectively, that REMEDI's Managed Services offering helped them deliver a significant return on their investment.  Here at REMEDI we utilized outsourcing to offload some day-to-day operations and marketing responsibilities that just were not part of our core competencies and we saw some amazing results.

Social Media Hysteria

Posted by Scott Hulme on Nov 23, 2010 9:47 AM

As REMEDI finalizes its marketing plans and initiatives for 2011, it is apparent that the effect of social media on marketing is here to stay. From Twitter to Facebook to LinkedIn and all of the other social media newcomers and yet-to-bes, there is no denying that social media is having a major impact on marketing, even when it comes to business to business marketing. At a recent conference that I attended, I heard some staggering facts. Email and text messaging are already on the decline in usage with certain demographics and that some colleges and universities no longer issue email addresses to students, instead advising them to set up Facebook and Twitter accounts to communicate with their professors and fellow students. I was stunned!
