Rothstein Kass' Partnership with BI International helps Secure Highland Capital for SOX Compliance

(Nov 12, 2007)-- Business Intelligence International (BII), developers of the on-demand Aline Governance, Risk and Compliance plus Performance (GRC+P) platform, has lent its Aline-branded products to Rothstein Kass who will use the partnership to assist a new client -- a publicly-traded investment adviser specializing in alternative fixed income investment strategies -- with its SOX compliance program.

Aline4SOX is a user-friendly Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 404 and 302, allowing companies to automate and streamline the SOX process while reducing their total cost of compliance. The product enables users to document and assess the design of controls, track the testing of their effectiveness and easily locate and remedy any deficiencies.

"We wouldn't have this client if it wasn't for the Aline platform," Kelly Dreishpoon, senior manager at Rothstein Kass, said. "A big factor in choosing us was that all compliance work could be done in one place. People don't want to be dealing with spreadsheets, word documents and e-mails, it must be more than a document managing system, and Aline provides that."

"We are pleased to be working with Rothstein Kass on several accounts. They have demonstrated a high level of excellence in their service delivery and the Aline(TM) platform helps to provide a consistent and more efficient approach across their multiple clients" said Bill Tomassini, Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at BII. "By using the integrated Top Down Risk-based Assessment tool in the software, they are helping their clients to define a compliance scope that is appropriate for their business, resulting in reduced time and effort for documentation and testing"

Aline4SOX provides companies with a single repository of all SOX data, dynamic update of standard deliverables, as well as integrated on-line project management reporting and powerful analytics.

Aline4SOX, which was included earlier this year as a niche player in Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant Research Study for Finance Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRCM) Software, is the only on-demand solution proven to reduce the cost and time of SOX compliance by up to 50% and transform compliance into sustainable business improvement.
