SANTA CLARA, Calif., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent reports indicate that technology firms in the Silicon Valley have made great strides in profit improvement. But today's technology leaders still face challenging times in unprecedented circumstances. That was the message at the quarterly California Women's Network conference held in the Silicon Valley.
Various speakers presented at the quarterly morning event. Julie Davis, Aon Corporation, provided the concluding keynote. "Virtually every business segment is subject to government regulation. It is predicted that in 2010 Congress and the 50 state legislatures will consider over 170,000 measures and it is projected that roughly 35,000 will become law. New legislation impacting the technology sector includes areas of corporate governance, employment, health and welfare, environmental, intellectual property, technology, innovation and product development, international trade and more," said Davis. She continued, "While the cost of compliance can be significant, regulatory monitoring with an eye to towards improving their organizational risks and looking for business opportunities are key."
Davis spoke after the conference about some of Aon's new products designed to help technology firms move their insurance and risk management programs into the 21st century. Davis concluded, "Our new Technology Diagnostic Review is aimed at technology firms that want to pursue excellence in their insurance and risk management programs. Our Technology Risk Diagnostic tool is a new approach to help tech firms better understand and build risk management excellence."
Anna Smith concluded, "An updated approach for technology firms to manage their risks is critical. Traditional approaches to insurance and risk management reviews, combined with updated approaches, are a potent business tool for leaders that want to get a grip on the dynamic changes in their industry. It focuses attention in the right areas. If you are interested in how the Technology Risk Diagnostic Review might help you improve your business model, please contact Julie Davis at Aon Corporation. She would be delighted to arrange a discussion with no obligation."
