Stratum Global and Meridian Leasing Collaborate on RFID

Strategic Alliance brings Sustainable Value to Customers.

Littleton, CO (PRWEB) December 21, 2005 -- Stratum Global, an RFID solutions provider, based in Littleton, Colorado, and Meridian Leasing, architects of cutting-edge hardware and software solutions, based in Deerfield, IL, announced a partnership in which Meridian Leasing will resell Stratum Global’s TagNet® RFID solutions. The two companies will pursue companies looking to track objects (assets) throughout the supply chain or who have to meet a compliance mandate and want a solution provider that will incorporate an ROI into the implementation process.

“We have seen a tremendous interest in RFID within our existing customer base in the last twelve months,” said Angela Trillhasse, senior vice president, solutions and delivery, Meridian Leasing. “Stratum Global has a complete solution and a customer base to back it up. Their industry expertise and methodology have shown that with a phased strategy, a solid software product, and good planning RFID can and will provide ROI.”

Stratum Global and Meridian Leasing have also begun working together to develop a functional RFID customer showcase, as part of Meridian’s Business Partner Innovation Center – where prospects can visit and experience a working RFID lab. This center will serve as a working demo where clients can actively participate to understand the implications and components of a standard implementation. Participants will have hands-on access to hardware, tags and software – as well as video tutorials of Stratum Global TagNet® implementations and demonstrated ROI.

“This relationship is strategic in that we’re both leveraging our expertise in delivering business solutions to the end user,” said Jim LaPalermo, vice president – business development, Stratum Global. “The synergy between our core competencies will provide sustainable value in RFID objectnet implemenations.”
