SAP Recognized for Advancing Governance, Risk and Compliance Analytics

SAP NEWSBYTE - GRC 20/20, a leading analyst firm, has recognized SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) as one of 12 award winners of the 2013 GRC Technology Innovator Awards. SAP was recognized for advancing governance, risk and compliance (GRC) analytics with SAP HANA Analytics Foundation for SAP solutions for GRC. This is the second year in a row that SAP has been recognized with this honor.

Designed for the continually evolving worldwide regulatory environment, SAP solutions for GRC help organizations proactively balance risk and opportunity through a real-time approach to GRC. The solutions enable better management of risk and compliance by automating key risk-management, compliance and monitoring activities. The addition of the SAP HANA platform supercharges these processes and enables new opportunities for cross-system GRC and business analytics as well as reporting capabilities that were previously impossible.

"The winners of this year's GRC Technology Innovator Awards demonstrated thought-leadership and innovative solutions in GRC," said Michael Rasmussen, chief GRC pundit, GRC 20/20. "What separates the organizations that are poor with GRC versus those that are good with GRC is how they utilize process, technology and information. As far as technology goes, SAP solutions for GRC deliver real-time results with a unified approach that enable organizations to improve their GRC and take a more holistic approach."
