[HAMILTON SQUARE, NJ — March 7, 2005]  Bridgette Hobart-Janeczko, President of Hamilton Square-based organization Paradigm Technology Consulting, LLC (PTC), and Greg Paff, VP Development, will be speaking on “Managing Regulatory Compliance with Microsoft Technology” at the Institute of Management Accountants Princeton Chapter March meeting which is being held at Charlie Brown’s Restaurant in Kinsgston, New Jersey on March 16, 2005.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) kicks off a new era of improved corporate governance.  This Act has a huge impact on many businesses in addition to other regulatory compliance issues. SOX is as much about process as it is technology.  Demands are put on executives, finance, and IT managers.  These new regulations are proving to be a significant burden on an organization’s resources and budget.  Their topic on March 16th, “Managing Regulatory Compliance with Microsoft Technology”, will provide an overview of SOX, and how leveraging Microsoft technologies can streamline the process, and reduce overall IT expenditures for compliance. Additionally, this session will review the Microsoft Office Solution Accelerator for Sarbanes-Oxley, a software solution built on top of Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Microsoft Windows Share Point Services, Microsoft SQL Server 2000, and Microsoft Office Info Path 2003.  The offering helps companies comply with the Act’s requirements through streamlining or upgrading document management, workflow, collaboration, monitoring, reporting, and other processes.
