NEW YORK, NY and PORTLAND, OR – July 10, 2007
Sterling Testing Systems, Inc., a leading provider of employment screening and compliance services, and EthicsPoint, the market leader in business process optimization for Issue, Event, and Loss Management, today announced a strategic partnership.
Understanding the make up of your employee base is integral to today’s Governance Risk and Compliance mandate. This partnership empowers users of EthicsPoint’s on-demand issue and event application with seamless access to Sterling’s award-winning employment screening and other key verification and assessment services.
By unifying their core offerings, Sterling and EthicsPoint will not only enable the workforce to accomplish their tasks with greater efficiency and effectiveness, but will provide senior management with greater confidence in the processes and tools that the organization is using to define, prevent, detect, and respond to the risks of business today. The integrated solution will give EthicsPoint’s Issue and Event Management clients access to Sterling's global human and technical resources to deliver critical business intelligence.
"The combination of the two companies’ solutions will help employers realize new operational efficiencies in administering their ethics and screening efforts," said Paul Mladineo, Sterling’s Vice President of Strategic Development. "Employers will have a single, integrated platform through which they can track their pre-employment and post-hire screening initiatives against their other workflow and data process management programs, providing them with critical data with which to make better business decisions.”
Under the terms of the agreement, the companies are also coordinating marketing, sales, and service capabilities to deliver the solution to companies globally.
"EthicsPoint clients who utilize our Issue, Event, and Loss Management solution are looking for meaningful points of integration that make their resolution process more efficient. This integration creates an important workflow extension and provides access to an invaluable service as our clients seek to improve efficiencies and gain greater process control. Sterling offers the high-level background check services that are truly meaningful to the market’s needs. This partnership is part of our mutual strategy to provide services in a consumption model around Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions," says David Childers, president and CEO of EthicsPoint, Inc.
