Business Editors & Technology Writers

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 16, 2003

Aspirity, LLC, a leader in end-to-end fully integrated Business Intelligence solutions, is introducing its new Corporate Social Responsibility Software (CSR), a robust and scalable code compliance platform to store, sort, track, share, schedule, upload and report factory/supplier audit information.

Aspirity's Social Compliance offering enhances users' productivity by significantly improving monitoring, remediation, and audit work flow while providing enhanced reporting and analytic functions.

With Aspirity's CSR, social compliance departments are able to align their operations with various standards such as SA8000, FLA, and AIP among others. Social Compliance managers may now measure the efficacy of their organization's programs by centrally storing and managing data related to internal and external audits, certifications, training, and corrective action plans (CAP). This includes being able to identify risk issues, prioritize corrective measures, capture and track operations across a number of functional areas, and improve the productivity of its social compliance users. CSR also allows organizations to seamlessly share audit related data with partners, thereby further enhancing efficiency gains. A company who uses CSR will be able to assure its stakeholders that extra effort has been made to comply with Code Compliance requirements.

When Patrick Husting, Practice Manager of Aspirity, LLC, was asked why a business intelligence firm sought the development of CSR, he replied: "We can reduce corporate risk and improve efficiencies by providing an intelligent customized solution to meet our Client's corporate responsibility needs. This is a natural extension of our core competency -- helping organizations integrate and capture data for purposeful measurements and analysis. Aspirity's partnerships with major retailers and NGOs, coupled with our technology expertise and executive management experience, makes us uniquely qualified to meet this challenge."
