NEW YORK and 'S-HERTOGENBOSCH, Netherlands, 2012-10-08 21:07 CEST (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) --
BWise, a NASDAQ OMX company and a global leader in Governance, Risk Management
and Compliance (GRC) software, announced today that it is positioned in the
Leaders Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance (EGRC)
Platforms in Gartner's October 4, 2012 report by French Caldwell and John
Wheeler. Nineteen companies are positioned in the report based on an evaluation
of 'completeness of vision' and 'ability to execute.'
The Gartner Magic Quadrant report states, 'The EGRC platform market derives
from the need for many entities to improve the oversight of corporate
governance -- including financial reporting compliance, ERM and related audits.
Many organizations also want to consolidate other GRC activities into a common
platform. Therefore, an EGRC platform must solve the immediate GRCM needs
associated with corporate governance, and also enable an enterprise to pursue
consolidation and integration of a diverse set of operational, IT, legal and
finance GRC activities.'
Momentous change and growth for BWise
BWise CEO Robert Pijselman said, 'BWise is honored to be positioned in the EGRC
Leaders Quadrant. We believe it recognizes our consistent growth and
development and our reliable teams who are executing well against our
strategies. While we are very proud of our position this year, we are even more
enthused about the potential for years ahead due to our recent acquisition by
the NASDAQ OMX Group.'
Mr. Pijselman added, 'BWise was acquired by NASDAQ OMX and is part of a
comprehensive solution set addressing customer needs in governance, risk
management, investor relations, board management and compliance. We can
leverage NASDAQ OMX strengths for exceptional growth. Their considerable
resources, global footprint, extensive brand recognition and products and
services add enormous strength to ours in sales, service and consultancy.'
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. Some EGRC
platform vendors are also starting to add content and capabilities to meet
industry-specific operational GRC needs, such as Basel II/III, Solvency II,
EH&S compliance, healthcare compliance, and NERC/FERC compliance. Overall, EGRC
platform vendors are adding capabilities across a wide spectrum of financial,
IT, operational and legal needs.'
Maximum Control of Risks
Luc Brandts, CTO and Founder of BWise, said, 'For more than eighteen years,
BWise has worked to assist organizations to track, measure and manage their key
organizational risks. We are very pleased to be in the Gartner Leaders
Quadrant. BWise has remained focused on innovation, helping businesses to
manage their complex tasks. With the addition of NASDAQ OMX resources we will
continue to execute our advanced product development roadmap to create an
unparalleled customer proposition in Governance and complement our strong Risk
Management and Compliance offering.'
