Aline(TM) Achieves Record Growth in 1st Half of 09

Success corresponds to the growing need for Governance, Risk and Compliance solutions

WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Continuing record-breaking growth for 2009, Aline, a leading GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) and ERM (Enterprise Risk Management) solution provider, reports new sales revenue of their On-Demand platform for the first half of 2009 more than doubled that of the previous year.

As more companies look for proven solutions to manage risk across the enterprise, Aline offers them a practical answer by building a data map of their businesses that tie goals, risks, performance metrics, processes, systems and people together. Companies can then update and analyze the map via the web.

Aline's growth is attributed to strong initial sales of its newly introduced ERM solution combined with accelerated sales of its SOX and Internal Audit offerings. SOX sales in particular have been fueled by accelerated filers looking to cut costs and non-accelerated filers determining how to get an auditable control structure in place before their December deadline.

In Q2, a partial list of these companies include AMCOL International of Hoffman Estates, IL; BioScrip of Elmsford, NY; Compass Minerals of Overland Park, KS; Trimble of Sunnyvale, CA; and TriQuint Semiconductor of Hillsboro, OR.

David Zach, Vice President of Sales, credits Aline's success to four things: 1) a demonstrable return on investment; 2) the simplicity to implement and manage the solution; 3) the expert support and mentoring delivered by Client Services; 4) the strategic value to management. Says Zach, "When a buying decision is made in our pipeline, companies are choosing Aline 89% of the time. We are told by those clients that Aline was picked because of the ease in which we deliver such a high quality solution so cost effectively."
