"In 2009 our clients faced economic challenges like no year in recent past. Remedi partnered with clients on initiatives which supported the varying needs of their businesses which depended on their chosen response to business conditions. For many, assistance included business integration and EDI support for staffs cut to the bone through deep reductions in force.

And finally, through managed services, there were those clients that outsourced integration infrastructure management and business network integration to combat core competency distraction and talent challenges. In all, client initiatives were focused on increasing integration and automation with partners while wringing costs out of procure to pay and order to cash business processes" comments President Brad Loetz.
