BSI Responds to Marketplace Business Challenge

BSI Launches New Version of Entropy(TM) Software

RESTON, Va., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- BSI, a leading provider of management
systems, software, and supply chain security, today announced it has delivered
a major enhancement to its Entropy software portfolio to enable organizations
to mitigate risk, thereby protecting their brand and reputation for good
governance.

Good governance is indispensable to an organization's risk management
strategy. A comprehensive approach to an organization's compliance standing
yields dividends from streamlined business processes. The mileage obtained
from the visibility into an organization's compliance obligations frees them
from being saddled with data overload, and enables effective decision making.

Responding to a common business challenge, the Entropy solution provides a
single gateway to an integrated risk and compliance solution to reduce overlap
and address gaps across a business. The Entropy solution streamlines data
collection across organizational units to ensure that a holistic compliance
view is realized.

Entropy(TM) is a Web-based software solution that serves as a productivity
suite for modular management systems, enabling companies to manage governance,
risk and compliance issues in an integrated manner across their business.
Entropy's integrated management system platform for environmental, health and
safety, quality, security, business continuity, supply chain and a company's
own requirements fall within five key workflows:

1. Audit & Compliance Management;
2. Incident Management;
3. Performance Management;
4. Risk Management; and
5. Knowledge Management.

Entropy(TM) Version 3.8 brings processes, information technology and existing
teams together to improve efficiency, analysis, knowledge management and
internal control. "Very few companies have the ability to join up their
management system information and make it accessible on demand ... when you do
this, the efficiency gains are significant and deliver a genuine ROI," said
Gary Robinson, Vice President of Product Management, Americas region.

The resulting benefits are reduced incident and document management costs,
greater resource efficiencies, and better internal controls. All of these
enhance an organization's competitiveness due to greater data integrity and
reliability for internal and external reporting.
