Merido, a provider of .NET-based enterprise content management (ECM) solutions and a Gold Certified Partner, announced Wednesday that Merido 5.0 will support the next version of Microsoft’s Office “12” software suite.

“Meridio solutions help Microsoft customers gain control of their corporate memory, providing solutions that allow them to manage their Office documents, Microsoft Office Live Communication Server 2005 instant messages and Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 e-mail messages, and helping them solve records and compliance problems,” said Chris Capossela, corporate vice president of Microsoft’s Information Worker Product Management Group. “Meridio’s innovative support of Office ‘12’ demonstrates how deeply Meridio understands its customers’ compliance and information management needs.”
