Hitec Laboratories (Hitec), a leading provider of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software solutions, are working closely with their partner, Trinidad based Savannah Computing (Savannah), to ensure clients throughout the Caribbean achieve and maintain compliance in an increasingly regulated environment.
The increasing demands of statutory and regulatory legislation indicate that all organisations face a tidal wave of compliance requirements. This includes Banks, Insurance Companies, Financial Institutions and Energy Companies who are regulated by the statutory bodies such as the Central Bank and the Securities & Exchange Commission and who are subject to increasing pressure from Government Legislation and International Regulators. These regulatory controls reflect the importance of good governance given the financial disasters that have occurred during the 2008-2010 period.
Award winning PolicyHub, Hitec’s Policy Lifecycle Management solution, is part of Savannah’s strategically focused range of Information Technology options. PolicyHub provides organisations in both the Financial and Energy Sectors the ability to evidence beyond doubt, to Regulators, Auditors, and Board of Directors that Statutory Compliance & Internal Operating Procedures are accurately deployed, communicated and implemented.
The Energy Sector has long been important to the economy of Trinidad & Tobago, accounting for approximately 50% of the country’s GDP, and represents over 90% of the country’s export earnings. The international oil and gas companies have introduced stringent rules regarding all Health & Safety and environmental issues in all aspects of exploration and production both locally and internationally.
Hitec’s experience in the GRC marketplace complements Savannah’s extensive involvement in the expansion of PolicyHub in the Caribbean, supporting organisations in the Financial and Energy Sectors including Government agencies. Savannah continues to offer first class consulting services to institutions seeking better regulatory control.
Mike Adams, Senior Vice President, Hitec North America comments: “We are delighted to be working closely with Savannah. PolicyHub is the link in the compliance process, complementing Savannahs other solutions. Compliance monitoring is central to providing assurance to senior management that the business is adequately managing its regulatory risk exposure and that controls and Policies are in place to manage these risks effectively.”
Donald Kelshall, Managing Director, Savannah Computing says: “We are pleased to lead with the launch of Hitec’s PolicyHub, the ‘Policies & Procedures Management’ application in the Caribbean. PolicyHub is much needed in our Business Community in the Caribbean if we are to meet the new International standards Compliance."
Donald continues by saying: “PolicyHub gives users a truly flexible and effective solution. Firstly by communicating Policies and ensuring response based acceptance, but more importantly by delivering the compliance reporting and assurance needed to satisfy the Auditors, external Regulators and the Boards of Directors."
