Compliance 360's Enterprise Solution and National Hotline Services Provide Clients With a Complete End-to-End Solution

ATLANTA -- August 18, 2004 -- Compliance 360, the most widely used enterprise compliance management application, today announced it has entered into a formal partnership with National Hotline Services, Inc., a leading provider of hotline services that help companies meet government compliance requirements and safeguard corporate integrity.

National Hotline Services establishes and maintains compliance hotlines for companies in regulated industries. This core competency of National Hotline Services - corporate compliance "hotlines" - is an essential piece of all effective compliance programs. National Hotline Services serves over 600 clients in a wide range of industries globally.

"We thoroughly researched the market and entered into an alliance with NHS because of their stellar reputation for client service and professionalism," said Steve McGraw, president and CEO, Compliance 360. "We each bring a vital component of an effective compliance program to the table for customers seeking a total solution to their compliance needs."

When a company establishes a compliance program, one element is an avenue employees can use to anonymously report a concern, fraud or abuse. National Hotline Services provides a call center for employees to report suspected malfeasance or nonconformance with the laws and policies of corporate governance within their organization.

National Hotline Services monitors and tracks the complaints and produces a range of management reports. Once a reported issue is found to be a genuine problem, Compliance 360's application helps the user track, monitor and remedy the gap.

"Compliance 360 and National Hotline Services are in the early stages of linking their respective systems so that joint users of these systems can access and manage their hotline information through Compliance 360's enterprise compliance management platform," said Carrie Kusserow, director of business development, National Hotline Services, Inc. "What this partnership means to organizations trying to cope with federal requirements such as Sarbanes-Oxley, is that they will now have a solution whereby the reports generated by their compliance hotline system will be integrated with a next-generation software application, designed from the ground up as an integrated, enterprise compliance management system tailored to meet the needs of their industry."
