TORONTO, ON June 29, 2005 ClearView Strategic Partners Inc. today announced it has selected Fusepoint Managed Services Inc., a leading provider of Managed IT Services, to fully manage all mission-critical IT infrastructure and applications related to the companys compliance, corporate governance and employee engagement solutions.
In response to the passing of new securities regulations and corporate compliance legislation like Ontarios Bill 198 and the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) Act in the United States, a growing number of companies are now required to provide an alternate employee communication channel that falls outside of the traditional organizational structure.
“Clients like Sears Canada, Air Canada, and RONA Inc. trust that their sensitive data will be kept secure and confidential,” said Phil Enright, Managing Partner of ClearView. “Our relationship with Fusepoint ensures that our ClearView Connects ethics reporting/whistleblower system will be available whenever and wherever employees or authorized reviewers need to access it. Fusepoint provides us with rock-solid security and guaranteed reliability for our critical online applications.”
The ClearView Connects ethics reporting/whistleblower solution provides employees with telephone and web-based alternatives to report wrongdoing, submit their comments and concerns, and establish an ongoing, two-way communications path for anonymous and continued follow-up. All information is logged and entered into a central data repository hosted and managed by Fusepoint, ensuring the security, availability and performance of all critical applications.
“Senior executives are aware that protecting sensitive client and employee data is not optional in todays business climate,” said George Kerns, president and CEO of Fusepoint Managed Services. “Changing legislation is only one facet of the growing trend we see of organizations selectively outsourcing their mission-critical requirements to partners such as ClearView and Fusepoint.”
