Cybersecurity Services for Meridian IT

The business that gave Meridian its name no longer belongs to it. Meridian Group International began in 1979 as a United States equipment leasing company, entered the value added reseller market in the 1990s, bought Concat AG of Bensheim, Germany in 2006 and Tardis in Australia in 2009, then sold its leasing arm, Meridian Leasing Corporation, with effect from December 2, 2024. What is left in Deerfield, Illinois is Meridian IT, a services and managed services company with operations reaching into the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Singapore and India

A services firm that once sat beside a leasing book has to win on delivery alone, and Meridian has just raised its own stakes.

That is one platform carried by entities which grew up separately, on different continents, under different names. The engineering has to read the same in Deerfield as it does in Bensheim, and Elite 150 placement on CRN's 2025 MSP 500 is a standing promise to midmarket and enterprise customers that it will
