NEW YORK, NY and -S-HERTOGENBOSCH, NETHERLANDS — (Marketwire) — 07/14/11 —
The Gartner Magic Quadrant report states, “Instead of acquiring separate solutions for finance, IT and other business units, many enterprises are choosing to use a single EGRC platform and, when necessary, integrating the many point and functional solutions to satisfy specific GRC needs. Reporting and managing through a single platform give executives, auditors and managers a holistic view of the enterprise-s risk and compliance postures, as well as views sorted by requirement, entity and geography.”
“It-s great to see recognition for our vision and ability to execute. We believe the positioning of BWise in the Leaders Quadrant is a reflection of the customer value we deliver in business performance improvements. We make GRC initiatives actionable by using business process management; manageable by defining relevant risks and sustainable, through best practice,” said Robert Pijselman, BWise CEO. “We have more than seventeen years of dedicated experience providing Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (EGRC) solutions to domestic and multi-national organizations across multiple industries in more than 120 countries. Our best practice approach enables customers to consolidate all EGRC initiatives in one platform, enabling customers to react to immediate needs while planning for the future. We refer to this approach as -Start Small, Think Big.-“
According to the report, “Most enterprises are also looking for solutions that support their strategies for more controls automation, including reporting from CCM of ERP and other controls automation in the IT infrastructure that can be integrated into the EGRC platform. As a consequence, a trend of the convergence of CCM with the EGRC platform is emerging, and there is also a slow trend toward the convergence of IT GRCM and EGRC platform solutions.”
Luc Brandts, CTO and Founder of BWise, said, “At BWise we are proud to be positioned as a leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms. The entire team at BWise continuously challenge themselves to discover new ways of enabling our customers to track, measure and manage their key organizational risks, including the risk of non-compliance and the risk of information security, in a more efficient, effective and expedient manner. A testament of this commitment is the integration of leading edge technology to the BWise platform such as e-Learning, Sustainability & Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) solutions and Continuous Monitoring / Continuous Auditing functionality. We believe that technology along with an educated staff results in shorter implementations, support of sustainable initiatives and maximum control over key risks. Our business process approach helps organizations manage all these initiatives in concert. It ensures customers have a GRC platform in place that is future-proof.”
