The solution, which went live with the first group of users last month, was delivered in conjunction with Meridio's partner Kainos, a leading IT consulting company.
The Audit Commission is an independent public body responsible for ensuring that public money is spent economically, efficiently, and effectively in the areas of local government, housing, health, criminal justice and fire and rescue services. Their mission is to be a driving force in the improvement of public services - promoting good practice and helping those responsible for public services to achieve better outcomes for their citizens.

Meridio eDRM was selected to provide an enterprise Document and Records Management solution across their existing infrastructure at sites in England.
