Axentis Announces Sarbanes-Oxley ''Live in 45'' Rapid Implementation Program.

CLEVELAND -- Axentis's Software-as-a-Service Solution Delivers Organizations Fastest Path to Effective SOX 404 and 302 Management

Axentis, the leading provider of on-demand governance, risk and compliance (GRC) management solutions, today announced the launch of its "Live in 45" rapid implementation program. "Live in 45" leverages the company's software-as-a-service (SaaS) based Axentis Enterprise solution, its Global 2000-proven methodology and experienced professional services team to deliver the industry's fastest path to enterprise Sarbanes-Oxley management. Under the terms of the program, Axentis delivers implementation of its award-winning solution and the customer's first live initiative in a period of 45 business days, allowing companies to address the upcoming December 31 year-end reporting requirements for 2006.

Axentis is recognized by leading industry analysts, customers and partners for its SaaS-based governance, risk and compliance offering, Axentis Enterprise (Ae). Ae enables Global 2000 companies to manage Sarbanes-Oxley 404 and 302 initiatives while avoiding the complexity and scalability limitations inherent with on-premise software.

"Customers implement a Sarbanes-Oxley application to better manage risk and ensure optimum operation. The last thing these organizations need to take on is additional IT project risk coupled with a software implementation that takes nine months or more to get started. 'Live in 45' addresses this issue," said Roger Bottum, vice president of marketing at Axentis. "With SaaS as our solution foundation, we are able to deliver a full-featured, scalable SOX management application that can be up and running with unmatched ease and speed. Furthermore this model empowers customers to quickly scale their usage into other compliance areas."

Axentis "Live in 45" program includes the following:

--Assigned project and account management resources to help customers achieve success with first Axentis application, as well as all subsequent applications

--Implementation services from Axentis's world-class professional services team

--Implementation methodology proven with Global 2000 customers

--Customized training to reduce SOX PMO effort and make sure each company's SOX team understands its implementation

Currently 700,000 users from Global 2000 companies located in more than 100 countries trust Axentis with their GRC requirements. Whether tackling Enterprise Risk Management, Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, Corporate Code of Conduct, Anti Money Laundering statutes, Operational Risk, or COBIT, Ae is the common platform resource used to automate processes, reduce costs and manage risk.
