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.”
            “Meridio’s solution enhances the capabilities of Microsoft 
              SharePoint Products and Technologies and the Microsoft Office system,” 
              said Alan Gilmore, CTO of Meridio. “Our ability to share and 
              manage information more securely between regions in a global deployment 
              makes a great combination with Microsoft’s outstanding collaboration 
              capabilities.”
            Meridio 5.0 will be available in the second half of 2006 upon the
