New TEM offering assists corporations in becoming fully compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley -- and keeps telecom expense costs down

Denver, CO (PRNEWSWIRE) October 25, 2005 – Vercuity has announced an expanded offering to its suite of telecom expense management (TEM) solutions which will help corporations to be in full compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) regulations, while at the same time keeping telecommunications costs down.

Vercuity, the premier TEM provider to the Fortune 1,000, recognizes the enterprise need in improving the performance of the telecom management processes as part of the emerging compliance management domain. By applying best practice TEM solutions to the SOX compliance process, enterprise compliance teams will benefit from telecommunications cost reductions as well as faster resolution of compliance issues that threaten the ability to meet SOX deadlines.

“Sarbanes-Oxley compliance strategies, at their core, thread throughout the entire telecommunications sourcing and management process,” states Michael Voellinger, Vice President of Enterprise Mobile Solutions for Telwares, a Vercuity company. “The standards and best practices that compliance represents can propel the relationship of IT, telecommunications, and the larger organization to extraordinary levels of excellence. We are very excited to bring this concept and value to the marketplace,” said Voellinger.

The Vercuity and Telwares organizations recently implemented an enterprise–wide SOX compliance initiative to include training and certifications from The SOX Institute. The new Vercuity offering creates the first and only solution that integrates best-in-class TEM processes and policies with Sarbanes-Oxley professional certifications.

"Most corporations know the importance of training their teams as they pursue SOX compliance initiatives, but few actually do it. The few that do, such as Vercuity, send a message to their customers and to their industry that they are committed to the levels of ethics and integrity that Sarbanes-Oxley compliance encourages", states Sanjay Anand, Group Chairperson for The SOX Institute.

More can be heard on this subject by attending “Implications of Sarbanes-Oxley”, an exclusive audio conference presented by The Telecom Manager's Voice Report. Attendees will gain knowledge on effective strategies and hear practical tips on the requirements for IT professionals to validate and verify the integrity in financial reports, data authenticity, and process implementation for compliance.
