Cleveland, OH—April 7, 2006— Axentis , a leading provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solutions, today announced that Gartner has named the company in the “Cool Vendors in IT Services and Outsourcing, 2006” Report, which was published on March 21,2006 by Ben Pring, et al. Gartner’s report on “cool vendors” highlights vendors in the IT services and outsourcing field that have caught Gartner’s interest or curiosity in approximately the past six months. Gartner defines a “Cool Vendor” as a company that offers technologies or solutions that are innovative, impactful, and intriguing.”
“We are pleased to be included in the Gartner ‘cool vendor’ list,” said Roger Bottum, vice president marketing of Axentis. “With our SaaS focus, Axentis has become the only provider capable of offering applications dynamic enough to empower Global 2000 organizations to comply with regulations, limit exposure and ultimately reduce risk. It is this model that has propelled us into a position of leadership within the GRC space.”
