Testimonials

"Analysing billing data at transactional level was always perceived to be too difficult. Meridian has set up databases to capture and interrogate expenditure using management information available with invoices. This has not just exposed anomalies, it has challenged suppliers to clean up account details, give historic rebates and negotiate keener prices. Meridian has also assisted with the preparation and evaluation of tenders.

"Although the use of consultants can be a threat to relationships with service providers, our experience has been that suppliers have welcomed Meridian's objectivity. Through bringing focus to billing anomalies, account management is made easier and there is a greater willingness to discuss the commercial opportunities.

"Lloyds TSB needed to do a major review of its expenditure on voice and mobile telephony. Meridian has helped us to reduce costs by at least 20% in those areas that we have investigated. A flexible fee structure has been agreed based upon a combination of performance and effort. I look forward to continuing the relationship with Meridian and exploring further cost saving initiatives."

"Bank of Montreal has obtained significant refunds on long distance charges. The results and the detailed review performed by Avema were impressive."

"The rigorous process, detailed analysis and professional conduct by the team were valued and we would have no hesitation in recommending your service to others, or engaging Meridian to undertake further work in the future."

"Avema delivered on all their promises to obtain credits and refunds from our suppliers. They required minimal assistance from myself or my team and we appreciated the level of diplomacy and expertise they showed when dealing with our suppliers across Canada. By utilizing their expertise on an ongoing, intermittent basis, we can save the cost of hiring full-time in-house staff for this critical, cost saving business function."
