Axentis Introduces Program To Enable Faster Adoption of Leading SaaS-Based Governance, Risk and Compliance Solution
Axentis Early Access Program Further Demonstrates Benefits of Software-as-a-Service Model by Saving Global 2000 Customers IT Resources and Expenses
Cleveland, Ohio - August 22, 2006 - Axentis, the leading provider of on-demand governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solutio ns, today announced the availability of the Axentis Early Access Program (EAP). The new Axentis EAP service is dedicated to giving customers no-cost, no-risk access to a fully replicated, on-demand production environment for testing and assessing the impact of new product releases before their "go-live" date. Leveraging EAP, Axentis ultimately helps position customers to achieve their desired level of success.
As the only GRC company to fully deploy the SaaS model, Axentis already enables Global 2000 customers to more quickly leverage new software releases. This capability was evidenced after a recent product introduction when more than 80% of customers were actively using major new functionality within 30 days of release. With a typical on-premise enterprise application model this implementation process can take a majority of customers up to 1.5 years or more. The Axentis Early Access Program builds on this trend by enabling customers to now test their existing processes and configurations with upcoming releases and then identify the impact before they are rolled out to users. All Axentis customers are eligible to participate free of charge.
"By allowing customers to more rapidly take advantage of the latest GRC functionality, the Early Access Program further validates the unique value of the SaaS model," said Roger Bottum, vice president of marketing at Axentis. "One of the major downsides to the on-premise software model involves the amount of IT resources required to install, configure and replicate your environment with each new release. With the new program, our customers' specific configurations and data are available for testing and validation with no IT resources required."
Axentis's award winning solution, Axentis Enterprise, ensures consistent workflow, reporting, security and content management. Currently 700,000 users in over 100 countries trust Axentis with their GRC requirements. Whether tackling Sarbanes-Oxley, privacy, Corporate Code of Conduct, Anti-Money Laundering statutes or corporate integrity agreements, Axentis Enterprise is the common platform resource used to automate processes, reduce costs and manage risk.
