MENTISoftware Named "Cool Vendor" by Leading Analyst Firm
Vendors Selected for the "Cool Vendor Report" Are Innovative, Impactful and Intriguing
MENTISoftware, a leading governance, risk and
compliance (GRC) software solutions provider, today announced its inclusion
in Gartner, Inc.'s "Cool Vendors in Compliance and Risk Management" report.
The April 24, 2008 report was written by Jeffrey Wheatman, French Caldwell,
Tom Eid, Jay Heiser, John E. Van Decker, Roberta J. Witty, and Dave
Russell.
According to the report, "In most cases, risk management and compliance
solutions are not replacing older software, but automating manual
processes, thus making these high-return-on-investment (ROI) purchases."
The report continues, "Because risk management and compliance solutions are
closely tied to business goals and objectives, it is important to consider
the domain expertise and not just technology functionality. One noticeable
characteristic of the cool vendors is their ability to keep up with
evolving business objectives that are affected more by business cycles than
by technology innovation."
"In my opinion, Gartner has always been ahead of its time, and we are
honored to be recognized. MENTIS is known as an expert in compliance and
information security, in addition to being a technology innovator. Our
products have great depth and solve the complex problems that governance,
risk and compliance teams face. Customers can quickly identify risk
areas, analyze exposure, and then determine the action steps that will
provide the most benefit. The architecture itself guides the user into
making informed and successful decisions, and gives the ability to show
concrete results to auditors," said Rajesh Parthasarathy, President and CEO
of MENTISoftware.
MENTIS' comprehensive preventive and detective strategy automates
compliance and security across the database and application architecture.
The MENTIS technical engine is innovative and flexible with products that
cover production and non-production databases, applications, and custom
applications. Masking, monitoring, and access control products work
independently or can be used as a complete GRC solution. Out-of-the-box
metadata, data classification, and security rules allow companies to comply
with changing, complex legislation within their industry, automate complex
processes, and facilitate collaboration between compliance and technology
groups. MENTIS provides a quick return on investment (ROI) and most
products implement in a matter of days. Using the same technical engine
that powers its products, MENTIS also provides an independent state of
security review, which is a quick, yet comprehensive, risk and exposure
assessment of an organization's database security setup. It includes a gap
analysis of current state vs. industry-specific best practices and
compliance requirements, and tactical and strategic recommendations to
achieve and sustain best practices.
