Toronto, Ontario, Framingham, MA and London -
The burdens of managing an effective Governance, Risk, and Compliance program have been significantly reduced through a newly formed partnership between Hitec Laboratories Ltd (Hitec), a developer of Compliance and Report Archiving solutions, and Hummingbird Ltd. (NASDAQ: HUMC, TSX: HUM), a leading global provider of integrated enterprise content management (ECM) and network connectivity solutions.

In joining Hummingbird’s Technology Alliance Network, Hitec integrates their DataStore®32 and Conform solutions with Hummingbird Enterprise.

“Conform manages the audited electronic delivery and understanding measurement of important policies and procedures generated by Compliance, HR, Training, Legal, and Accounting departments within industry and government,” says Jeremy Crame, CEO of Hitec. “By integrating Conform with Hummingbird, users of Hummingbird Enterprise can collaborate on policies & compliance documents, set lifecycle schedules, and issue these policies through Conform. Conform then ensures that this information has been distributed, received, read and understood by the intended recipients.”

DataStore®32 provides regulatory-compliant archiving of reports and high-value transaction documents. By integrating DataStore®32 with Hummingbird billing statements, reports, checks, trade confirmations and more can now be accessed along with other types of enterprise content through Hummingbird’s Web interface and Microsoft Outlook client.

“Partnering with Hitec brings a richer Compliance & Governance solution set to a number of industries, especially financial services, government, and other highly regulated sectors,” said Andrew Pery, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Vice President, Hummingbird Ltd. “Today’s customers are seeking complete solutions and not just niche tools. The combined technology of our two firms provides tighter compliance and streamlined efficiencies for Human Resource, Training, Compliance, Accounting and Legal areas within a firm.”
