Columbus, OH (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 - Remedi Electronic Commerce Group, an organization providing Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Business to Business (B2B) eCommerce full-time placement, project consulting, staff supplementation and managed services,  announced today that it eclipsed 2007 results in 2008. 2008 was a record year for the company in a variety of performance categories. Additionally, increased demand for services, improved execution on new business development, and continued transformation by clients from EDI to B2B eCommerce software tool sets positions the company for continued growth in 2009.

"Given the economic challenges facing companies today, many managers in IT are being asked to slash headcount, curtail integration efforts, and defer key eCommerce projects. Yet other organizations, where IT value is recognized as the way to combat these tough times, are turning to EDI and eCommerce groups for the advantages these teams and their technology bring the companies. Specifically eCommerce infrastructures and solutions bring efficiency, productivity, reduced cycle times, and business process modeling, optimization, and management," comments President Brad Loetz. "It is by working with, and focusing on, those clients interested in utilizing data integration tools and infrastructure across their business networks we are able to assist companies collaborate more effectively with partners. This has allowed clients, and Remedi, to realize the collective operational and financial success we have in 2009".
