Industry veteran to oversee implementation and support of policy-driven compliance solution
Mountain View, Calif. – August 30, 2007 - Polivec Inc. president Kim Nelson announced today that Robert Freedman has joined the company in the newly created position of vice president of professional services. Freedman will be in charge of building and managing the company’s team that will be responsible for deployment, implementation, training, and ongoing support for users of Polivec’s Enterprise Governance Solution.
Freedman comes to Polivec from Certus Corporation, a provider of governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions headquartered in Palo Alto, California. He served as vice president of products and acting vice president of engineering at Certus, which was acquired by Securac of Calgary, Alberta in January 2007. Earlier in his career, he was a senior consultant at Oracle Corporation, where he was in charge of implementing enterprise business applications. He also spent two years at Ernst and Young LLP, where he co-directed the firm’s West Coast Oracle applications practice.
“We are very happy to have Robert on the Polivec team. He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the fast-growing GRC space, and he knows what it takes to get a client up and running on a new, enterprise-wide software platform such as our EGS solution,” said Nelson.
Launched in May 2007, the Polivec Enterprise Governance Solution bridges organizational “silos” and aligns policies, processes, people, and technology, enabling companies to actively manage compliance efficiently throughout their enterprises. Recent deployments were announced at Banco Santander International and the State of Montana Management Services Bureau.
“Compliance as a discipline is rapidly coming into its own, and the Polivec solution meets a growing need for a solution that brings together the people, processes, and technology that must work in unison and across the enterprise,” said Freedman.
“The Polivec approach, working with clients to solve for the most pressing compliance requirement first and then moving on to the next phase when ready, is the way to go. It allows companies to assert broad control of the compliance function while preserving their initial investment in systems and point solutions that are limited to individual departments or single regulatory issues.”
On Thursday September 17, Polivec vice president Tom Grubb will explain the Polivec solution in detail as he delivers an encore presentation of his recent webinar, How Financial Institutions Can Tame the Regulatory Compliance Monster.
