Fourth Annual User Conference, Engage! 2007, Explored Many Important Compliance Issues and Challenges
Cleveland, OH—October 1, 2007—Axentis, providers of the industry’s most comprehensive and widely deployed governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solution, today announced the success of Engage! 2007, the fourth annual conference designed to give customers, partners and Axentis executives a forum to discuss critical trends and practical approaches to compliance. Over 100 participants met September 18–20 in Amelia Island, FL, to discuss current issues and trends in the GRC industry, share best practices and explore new opportunities with the Axentis solution.
“Your customers always teach you new things about the value of what you do,” said Axentis CEO Robert Hoyt. “The range of applications customers have implemented demonstrates that common processes and technology platform provide a more effective means of unifying corporate GRC programs and increasing efficiency.”
Throughout the three day conference, attendees heard from Axentis customers and partners, executives, and industry thought leaders. During presentations, roundtable discussions and customer showcases, speakers highlighted innovative and effective approaches to managing regulatory compliance, risk management, financial reporting compliance, privacy, and IT risk.
“I found the forum to be extremely beneficial,” said Jayme Antonoplos, Director of Compliance Management for Medco Health Solutions. “It provided an excellent opportunity both to benchmark our compliance activities with others in the industry, as well as network with professionals facing the same challenges we face. There was a nice balance of compliance information and attendee variety to make the experience quite worthwhile.”
Select best practices shared by customers included:
- Using Compliance to Transform Your Organization
- Implementing a Risk-based Approach
- Reinforcing Strong Controls in a Decentralized Environment
