inTEST Corporation Chooses Aline4SOX for Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance MALVERN, Pa., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Business Intelligence International (BII), developers of the on-demand Aline(TM) Governance, Risk and Compliance plus Performance (GRC+P) platform, announced today that inTEST Corporation (NASDAQ:INTT), a leading designer and manufacturer of automated test equipment used by some of the world's most important manufacturers of semiconductors, selected its Aline4SOX tool to automate the company's Sarbanes-Oxley compliance program. Aline4SOX is an easy to use Software as a Service (SaaS) solution for Sarbanes-Oxley Sections 404 and 302, allowing companies to automate and streamline the SOX process while reducing their total cost of compliance. The product enables users to document and assess the design of controls, track the testing of their effectiveness and easily locate and remedy any deficiencies. "SOX compliance boils down to producing quality testing that can be standardized, repeatable and transferable to both internal and external resources," Scott Uebele, inTEST's Director of Financial Compliance, said. "We have seen many tools, but none have provided those benefits in the cost- efficient way that Aline4SOX can." "We have seven facilities worldwide. Aline4SOX puts all of the internal and external resources into the same "virtual room". Therefore the costs of managing and synchronizing our global compliance efforts are reduced and the reliance on third-party consulting is minimized, allowing our internal management to truly own the process." "We are pleased to be working with the inTEST global team. Since Aline(TM) is a web based solution; the inTEST team and their external auditors can access the application at anytime and anywhere. Scott will be able to view real time information for the global program activities and identify ways to optimize the program," said Bill Tomassini, Senior Vice President of Sales and Operations at BII. "In addition, they will be able to streamline the reporting process by using our standardized reports for the management team and Audit Committee." Aline4SOX provides companies with a single repository of all SOX data, dynamic update of standard deliverables, as well as integrated on-line project management reporting and powerful analytics. Uebele said Aline4SOX will allow inTEST to track all of its compliance tasks through one centralized, virtual space allowing its limited compliance staff "to streamline its testing across multiple entities while still producing high quality work papers at a reduced cost." He said for a company with inTEST's global reach, Aline4SOX greatly minimized the distance between controllers while still reducing cost. Aline4SOX, which was included earlier this year as a niche player in Gartner, Inc.'s Magic Quadrant Research Study for Finance Governance, Risk and Compliance Management (GRCM) Software, is the only On-Demand solution proven to reduce the cost and time of SOX compliance by up to 50% and transform compliance into sustainable business improvement.
