Dear Valued Meridian Customer,
I would like to personally thank you for your continued support of Meridian Systems. Without the support of our customers, we would not have the opportunity to build valuable products and services. After all, Meridian exists because of you, and we hope that you continue to achieve business value with positive results from the use of our products and services.
One way Meridian demonstrates appreciation for our customers' support is by conducting our Annual User Conference, and I personally invite you to Scottsdale to attend this year's event. We have put together a compelling conference for all of our customers, with many customers and partners volunteering their expertise to share with you in group panels and individual track sessions.
Regardless of your role or the Meridian product or service you use--the conference is specifically designed to provide you a venue for additional business and product insight, a group learning environment, networking with colleagues, an opportunity to meet with me and Meridian staff and partners, and a chance to have some fun.
I know that not only for myself, but for all Meridian employees and partners, it is a privilege to listen to our customers so that we can use your feedback to create better products and services. I look forward to seeing familiar faces at the event, as well as getting to know new faces. See you in Scottsdale.
Sincerely,
John Bodrozic
President

Meridian Fans the Flames of Innovation: Named 2005 Constructech Hottest
From the staff of Constructech magazine, July 2005
While there are still those that resist coining the AEC industry as leading edge, it is certainly one of the few industries refining the way it views technology and automation. The Constructech Hottest Awards recognize software and hardware providers thinking outside of the box. With this coveted industry award, Constructech honors Meridian Systems for providing leading-edge technology solutions for AEC and infrastructure-related companies.
