Services Each Shareholder enters into a Service Agreement with Stratum to buy services. These services are provided via Stratum's distinct product lines: The Board has adopted a strategic plan which calls for Stratum to migrate from its current decentralized structure to a Shared Services Organization model, whereby information technology, materials management, business office, human resources and other services will be provided through Stratum. These services will not necessarily be centralized in a single location, but by leveraging technology the organization and direction of the services will come from Stratum.

This migration to a Shared Services model is being built on a collaboration strategy whereby Shareholders and Stratum management work together on meaningful projects to reduce costs and improve performance.
