## Compliance-grade software, with the patience to ship it well

Meridian Systems builds back-office software for **regulated industries**: clinical trial coordination, financial reconciliation, public-sector procurement. We work alongside your in-house team for 12-to-18-month engagements and stay on for the long maintenance tail nobody else wants.

## What we deliver

- **Audit-ready code** — every change traces back to a ticket, every ticket to a requirement, every requirement to a stakeholder sign-off
- **Zero JavaScript on customer-facing pages** — the most accessible, fastest, and most cacheable HTML you can ship
- **WCAG 2.1 AA compliance** — automated and manual testing, signed off before every release
- **EAA-ready by default** — every site we ship after June 2025 meets European Accessibility Act baseline
- **CSP, HSTS, COOP, COEP** — security headers configured per OWASP guidance, not the framework defaults
- **30-day uptime SLA** — 99.95% measured at the customer's edge, not at our load balancer

## Recent client work

- **NHS England** — clinical trial recruitment portal serving 137 trial sites, WCAG 2.1 AA, full audit trail
- **Crown Commercial Service** — supplier reconciliation tool processing £2.4B in annual contracts
- **Bank of England** — internal tooling for the Prudential Regulation Authority (under NDA — happy to discuss in person)

## How we work

1. **Two-week paid discovery.** We document the system as it stands today and write down the constraints we'd otherwise miss.
2. **Co-located team for the first quarter.** Our designers and engineers sit with yours; nothing happens in a Slack channel they can't see.
3. **Fortnightly demos to stakeholders.** Every Wednesday, every fortnight, no slides — just the working software.
4. **Open handover from day one.** Source, decision records, and runbooks live in your repo, not ours.

## Why teams hire us

- **No surprise invoices.** Fixed-price discovery, time-and-materials with monthly caps after that.
- **No subcontracting offshore.** The names on the proposal are the people who write the code.
- **No five-year exit cliff.** Maintenance contracts are renewed annually with a 90-day exit clause both ways.

## Get in touch

Email **hello@meridian-systems.com** or call **+44 20 7946 0123** during UK office hours. We answer within one business day.
