Thursday, April 11, 2019 8:00 AM

Collaborative Compliance Leader Certified for Cloud Performance, Scale, and Security

MEDIA, PA / ACCESSWIRE / April 11, 2019 / Trust Exchange, the leader in Collaborative Business Information Services, today announced that the Trust Exchange Platform has achieved Advanced Technology Partner (ATP) status in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Partner Network (APN). The new partner status is recognition of Trust Exchange's ability to reimagine and automate business information, vendor management, and compliance processes with the security and scale of the world's leading enterprise cloud.

To attain ATP status, Trust Exchange not only had to have its platform certified via AWS's stringent technical certification. The company also had to validate its expertise through a wide range of enterprise references that demonstrated strong customer value. Trust Exchange provides timely and critical business information while streamlining and automating vendor management and compliance processes for a wide range of financial institutions.

"Compliance challenges are growing exponentially for financial institutions, and the global scale and agility of a cloud platform like AWS are essential to help organizations to keep up," said Ed Sullivan, Founder and CEO at Trust Exchange. "We are pleased to extend our partnership as an Advanced Technology Partner in the AWS Partner Network so that we can continue to help our customers securely and scalably manage critical compliance and vendor management processes in the cloud."

Trust Exchange pioneered the concept of Collaborative Compliance, enabled by the Trust Exchange Community. The Trust Exchange Community is a community of businesses that securely disclose and monitor key information to increase their trust in each other. Compared to traditional business information services that provide limited, stale, and non-actionable information, Collaborative compliance delivers flexible, timely, and actionable information for compliance and risk management professionals.

Trust Exchange CEO Ed Sullivan to Speak at RMA’s 12th Annual Governance, Compliance, and Operational Risk Conference (GCOR)

Thought Leader to Explain How Collaborative Compliance Overcomes the Limitations of Artificial Intelligence

 

Trust Exchange, the leader in Collaborative Business Information Services, today announced that Founder and CEO Ed Sullivan was invited to speak at the Risk Management Association’s 12th Annual conference. Mr. Sullivan’s keynote, “Compliance in an Exponential World: The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Curated Crowdsourcing in the Future of Compliance,” will explore the use cases and limitations of Artificial Intelligence for managing risk and compliance and compare it to Trust Exchange’s unique Collaborative Compliance solution.

The Risk Management Association (RMA) continues its 100 -year mission of advancing the use of sound risk management principles in the financial services industry by hosting GCOR XII, RMA’s 12th annual Governance, Compliance and Operational Risk Conference. GCOR will take place on April 18–19, 2018 in Boston, MA. GCOR members include more than 2,500 financial institutions and 18,000 individuals – many of whom will be represented at GCOR, which focuses on how institutions can integrate best practices in governance, ERM, compliance, and operational risk initiatives into their business strategies.

Conference participants and speakers include compliance and risk management executives from organizations like Accenture, Charles Schwab, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, the Federal Reserve Board, IBM, KPMG, US Bank National Association, and others.

Recently recognized as a Top 50 Global Regulatory Compliance Solution by RT Markets, Trust Exchange pioneered the concept of Collaborative Compliance, enabled by the Trust Exchange Community. The Trust Exchange Community is a community of businesses that securely disclose and monitor key information to increase their trust in each other. Compared to traditional business information services that provide limited, stale, and non-actionable information, Collaborative compliance delivers flexible, timely, and actionable information for compliance and risk management professionals.

Compliance costs are soaring based on the growing volume and complexity of business relationships. A study from Juniper Research recently showed that companies spent more than $10B USD globally on compliance in 2017, and predicted that compliance costs will skyrocket to more than $76B USD by 2022[1].

“For financial institutions, compliance has evolved into an exponential problem that can’t be addressed with yesterday’s linear solutions,” said Ed Sullivan, Founder and CEO of Trust Exchange. ''Artificial intelligence will play a meaningful role in the future of compliance along with blockchain and other technologies, complemented by real-time, crowdsourced business information from Trust Exchange.”

Trust Exchange Named a 2017 Top 50 Global Regulatory Compliance Solution by RT Markets

Industry Leader Recognized for Reducing Compliance Costs via Collaborative Compliance

 

Drexel Hill, Penn. – Dec. 21, 2017 – Trust Exchange, the leader in Collaborative Business Information Services, today announced that RegTech Markets, a global community of thought leaders, innovators, and investors has named Trust Exchange to its RegTech 50 list of the top providers in regulatory and compliance technologies.

 

RegTech Markets evaluated more than 600 products and services from notable regulatory technology providers like BearingPoint, Nasdaq, KPMG and others. The Top 50 was based on voting from regulated companies globally to identify the top solutions for improving compliance processes. The growing interest in regulatory and compliance solutions is driven by increasing regulation and growing frustration with traditional business information services and manual compliance processes.

 

Compliance costs are soaring based on the growing volume and complexity of business relationships. A study from Juniper Research recently showed that companies spent more than $10B USD globally on compliance in 2017, and predicted that compliance costs will skyrocket to more than $76B USD by 2022[1].

 

“Yesterday’s approach to compliance won’t solve the problems of tomorrow,” said Ed Sullivan, Founder and CEO of Trust Exchange. “You can’t just throw people and manual processes at a problem of this scale. That’s why more institutions are turning to new technologies and methods like crowdsourcing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), gamification, and blockchain to digitize costly and cumbersome compliance processes.”

 

Along with providing a crowdsourced platform for overall vendor management, Trust Exchange enables Collaborative Compliance. The Trust Exchange Community is a community of businesses who securely disclose and monitor key information to increase their trust in each other. The company was founded by a father and son team of entrepreneurs who were both frustrated with the current state of business information applications.  The data available was stale and delivered via printable reports or email.  It wasn’t timely, predictive and certainly not actionable.  Furthermore, the business information and B2B credit bureaus kept this stale information behind a two-way paywall and charged companies to correct and update their information.
 
Exchanging and monitoring this information is a complex problem that has grown exponentially with the growth of outsourcing and regulation. Trust Exchange solves compliance challenges by providing a platform where businesses can directly and securely exchange key information required to do business with each other.  This can be as simple as disclosing the number of employees and insurance to complex certifications or audits.

 

Trust Exchange has also launched an industry benchmark to assess the state of today’s compliance and vendor management processes to understand the current challenge institutions are facing, and identify common themes across top-performing companies. Survey participants will receive a complimentary copy of the summarized survey findings to evaluated their own processes compared to their peers.

Innovative Business Application Adds 1,000 Customers in Just One Year

February 01, 2013

 

First Social B2B Business and Credit Rating Platform Shows Explosive Growth in First Year

 

 

DREXEL HILL, PA — February 1, 2013 – G2Link (www.g2link.com), the first social B2B rating platform provider, announced today record customer growth through its first year of operations. Launched one year ago today, G2Link is now serving over 1,000 business professionals who use the application to review and monitor their key customers, vendors and partners. In addition, G2Link is currently tracking trust and reputation statistics for more than fifty thousand companies.

 

“We are in the midst of a seismic shift towards crowd-powered information,” said Edward Sullivan, G2Link Founder and CEO. “By harnessing the wisdom of peers, we are changing the way businesses interact. Social networks are transforming into information networks.”

Before G2Link, businesses had limited options. They had to rely upon payment and accounting data alone to make critical decisions. This data was collected and protected by the large B2B credit bureaus that charged fees for each view into this data. This information is historical and, at best, gives you red flags in the past. Many companies burn precious resources doing this themselves or, even worse, waste engineering resources to build a custom solution. Others purchase expensive, difficult to use systems designed on antiquated business processes.

G2Link is changing all of this by empowering companies to take control of their risk management. By continually leveraging working knowledge from within the worldwide business ecosystem, G2Link provides actionable reputation data helping companies make important bottom line decisions. Now, over 1,000 business professionals such as finance, sales and procurement have embraced this technology and selected G2Link’s Trust and Reputation platform to manage their risk.
