Press Release Body: Miami Beach, FL, August 21, 2008 -- While layoffs seem to be the
norm these days at most companies, Meridian Partners is an exception. Business is
growing and they are hiring. A professional services firm headquartered on Lincoln
Road in Miami Beach, Meridian Partners provides project implementation and staffing
services to government agencies and Fortune 2000 companies that use SAP software to
help run and manage their business. This month, they were ranked the third
fastest-growing technology firm in South Florida by the South Florida Business
Journal.

The company was founded in 2002 by Wilberto Martinez, an MIT-educated engineer who
was born and raised in Puerto Rico, and Jose B. (JB) Aleman, a Miami native with a
strong entrepreneurial background. The two met in the late \'90s at Cambridge
Technology Partners where they were colleagues. For the first few years, Meridian
Partners offered e-business consulting services to South Florida companies. Since
2004, their focus has been on providing SAP software expertise to public sector
organizations. This targeted approach has paid off. Last year, Meridian Partners was
ranked as one of the fastest growing organizations by Inc. magazine with sales
growing by 1,750% from 2004 to 2007.

\"Our biggest challenge is filling the positions to do the work,\" states Mr.
Martinez. \"We are very selective and our SAP consultants are highly specialized.
Combined with our fast growth, recruiting top talent has become our number one
priority.\"

To attract the best people, the company has looked for innovative ways to stand out
in the field. The office on Lincoln Road is definitely a draw, particularly for
those interviewing from out of town. In addition, they offer highly competitive
compensation packages while providing a family-friendly environment.

\"Wil and I both have young children and we want to be part of their daily lives,\"
adds Mr. Aleman. \"It\'s not always easy when you\'re a consultant but we try to be as
accommodating as possible so our consultants can work close to home and not miss out
on their family\'s activities.\"

In addition, Meridian Partners tries to offer their consultants challenging, diverse
projects so they are never bored and frequent training opportunities for continued
learning. Current clients include the South Florida Water Management District,
RailAmerica, and one of the largest five public school districts in the nation.
