Convercent and NYSE Governance Services Partner to Provide Customers With the Best Content on the Best Platform

DENVER, CO and PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2013) -  Convercent, creators of integrated culture and compliance solutions, and NYSE Governance Services, Corpedia, a provider of an integrated suite of resources today announced their partnership to jointly meet customer needs in governance, risk and compliance.

"This agreement closes the loop for companies wanting the best content on the best platform," said Convercent CEO Patrick Quinlan. "Our products make perfect complements to each other. Companies can receive industry-leading policies, content, and compliance services from NYSE Governance Services -- the content of record for the New York Stock Exchange -- and access fully integrated compliance, policy, education and values software from Convercent."

"Our clients have come to expect best-in-class content from our custom courseware, our off the shelf courseware and our advisory services," said Erica Salmon Byrne, EVP, Compliance and Governance Solutions with NYSE Governance Services, Corpedia. "Partnering with Convercent gives companies the opportunity to track, monitor and maintain that content through a technology solution that meets that same standard, enabling them to more effectively and efficiently reach their employees, empower a culture of compliance and mitigate risk."

A constantly shifting regulatory landscape necessitates the integration of content with technology, according to Michael Rasmussen, Chief GRC Pundit of GRC 2020.

"Over the past decade we've seen the need for companies to take a holistic view of their GRC program from values and ethics to governance and compliance -- what I call GRC 3.0," Rasmussen said. "Integration of content is a key element of GRC 3.0. It's the only way to rapidly assess changing regulations, risks, industry and geopolitical events, and how they impact strategy, performance, controls, policy and the integrity of the organization."
