WATERS MAGAZINE CITES EDCOMM’S DR. LINDA EAGLE AS COMPLIANCE AND COMMUNICATIONS EXPERT

(NEW YORK, NY) – June 15, 2006

Waters, a magazine dedicated to technology intelligence in the financial industry, has quoted Dr. Linda Eagle, President of The Edcomm Group, as a compliance and communications expert in the June 1 article “Taming the Open-Source Monster.”

Dr. Eagle was quoted on the importance of open communication between the compliance and IT departments. When it comes to open-source software, the lines must be open and clear. “[The compliance department must] explain to the IT manager what Sarbanes-Oxley is. It's a real simple fact,” said Eagle. “You can go to jail for it. It's not just a corporate responsibility; it's a personal responsibility."

Dr. Eagle is frequently invited to speak on a range of topics including distance learning, adult education, compliance training, teller training, ethics training, technological advances in training and education, and business solutions. Her educational background in psychology and communications and her experience in organizational consulting give her unique insight into the practical application of training and communication programs. Dr. Eagle has provided consulting and training services to hundreds of organizations in a variety of industries. Published in many national publications including USA Today, American Banker, Forbes, MSNBC and the Washington Post, Dr. Eagle has been widely quoted as an Associated Press (AP) expert and has appeared on several local and national radio and television news programs.

Since its launch in 1993, Waters has been relied on by financial technology professionals worldwide for focused, in-depth coverage of financial market data and technology. It defines the challenges that the top global financial services confront, be they old school issues like trading room systems and operations or new business propositions like consortia portals and e-commerce spin-offs.
