Meridian Equipment Finance (MEF) selected the ASPIRE platform from LTi Technology Solutions (LTi) to provide complete front-and back-end management of its equipment finance portfolio. MEF selected ASPIRE after demonstrations of the platform’s capabilities and security and compliance vendor risk assessments.

A 20-year long-standing business relationship with Joe Pucci, president of MEF, and Jody Wagner, director of operations for MEF, gave LTi an advantage in understanding how MEF wanted to achieve its business goals using upgraded technology.

“Working with LTi for the past 20 years has been nothing but positive,” Pucci said. “We’re pleased to continue our partnership with LTi as MEF continues to grow, knowing we can trust their ever-upgrading and innovative solutions. Using ASPIRE is just one of the ways our partnership helps us improve MEF’s customer experience.”

“LTi is very excited to continue our long-term partnership with Joe and Jody at Meridian Equipment Finance and Meridian Bank,” Randy Haug, executive vice president and co-founder of LTi, said. “The one thing that sets them apart from others is that they are ‘forward-thinking’ and have the internal skill set to utilize the new technology, robust functionality and innovations that our ASPIRE cloud-based solution can offer them and their client borrowers. We will be collaborating to leverage our strong joint skills to configure a solution that delivers a high level of service to them and their client partners. This will give them an advantage in the markets they serve.”
