Avon, CT (PRWEB) November 1, 2006
Software Impressions LLC and Premier, Inc. announced today that Premier has begun using EthicsAdvantage Professional Edition to manage its ethics compliance program. EthicsAdvantage is a case management and reporting system that enables companies to manage the information related to their compliance efforts and to develop reports for presentation to the board of directors and to other audiences. EthicsAdvantage Professional Edition is tailored to serve the needs of programs that are managed by a small group of professionals and which typically have relatively modest case volume.
"A well-organized case management system is a vital piece of an effective compliance and ethics program," said Ethics and Compliance Vice President Megan Barry. "We were impressed with Software Impressions expertise and with the robustness of their Professional Edition case management system. We're looking forward to significant time savings, reduction of paperwork, and smoother case tracking through the implementation of this system."
"We have delivered EthicsAdvantage to some of the world's biggest companies for years. Completion of Professional Edition and deployment of it for Premier marks a milestone for Software Impressions. It proves that we have achieved what we had set out to do: to develop a solution that not only is best in class but also is scalable to ethics programs of any size," remarked Ken Desrosiers, Vice President of Product Development for Software Impressions.
The recently introduced EthicsAdvantage Professional Edition will extend the reach of EthicsAdvantage beyond its current Fortune 500 client base to ethics oriented organizations of all sizes.
