Plainsboro, NJ – May 22, 2008 – SAI Global, a leading provider of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) solutions, has joined the global Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG) community as the newest member of its Technology Council.

SAI Global cemented its Australian leadership position in GRC solutions and its emerging role in the US and European markets with its acquisition of 80-20 Software and its Leaders4 flagship product in March, 2008. Designated as "visionary" in the February 2007 Gartner Finance GRCM Software Magic Quadrant, Leaders4 delivers one automated tool for integrating all dimensions of a corporation’s GRC program, eliminating unnecessary solution fragmentation, standardizing processes and driving down the cost of governance, risk and compliance programs.

"We share OCEG's belief that organizations are challenged by the prospect of integrating governance, risk and compliance business processes," said Andy Wyszkowski, Global Head of Compliance for SAI Global. "As a member of OCEG and its Technology Council, we look forward to leveraging our extensive global experience by participating in the important work of setting standards and outlining processes for GRC performance improvement."

OCEG's Technology Council was formed to address the strategic, operational and technical issues that professionals face when applying information technology (IT) to governance, risk, compliance (GRC) and ethics management and when applying GRC to IT. Participation in the OCEG Technology Council program is available to all OCEG enterprise members from both the end-user and the GRC solution provider communities.
