FOLSOM, Calif.

A long-time Meridian customer, DMJM H&N originally adopted Proliance technology to help ensure successful program management delivery on several multi-billion dollar infrastructure programs located around the world.
DMJM H&N has successfully used Proliance as the basis for its branded ePM (electronic Program Management) solution which has been used on several large scale building projects including an $80 million capital project for John Deere’s new corporate offices in Moline, Illinois. Based on these successes, DMJM H&N decided to expand their relationship with Meridian by becoming a Proliance Consulting Partner.
“Meridian solutions have helped us to build a strong reputation for excellence in program management,” said Kim McAvoy, associate VP of ePM solutions, DMJM H&N. “Because of this success, we have decided to make it available as part of the services we offer to our AEC clients.”
The DMJM H&N ePM Solutions Group brings together program management domain expertise, technical knowledge of the Proliance Web services platform, as well as software implementation experience to create the ideal consulting partnership with Meridian. DMJM H&N and Meridian will work together to bring the Proliance solution to new building owner clients by offering implementation, support, and training capabilities.
“DMJM H&N is an excellent Proliance Consulting Partner because of their program management expertise and knowledge of enterprise software implementations,” said John Bodrozic, president and cofounder of Meridian. “This alliance is expected to increase our global footprint, allowing us to extend Proliance implementation services to new customers worldwide.”
