Oracle Corporation: Oracle Named a Leader in Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms by Leading

Gartner, Inc. has placed Oracle in the Leaders Quadrant in its 2009 report "Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms."*
This Gartner Magic Quadrant provides guidance for organizations that are seeking to purchase, replace or upgrade their technology solutions "to support the oversight and operation of enterprisewide risk management and compliance programs." It positions vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute.
According to Gartner, "Leaders have proven GRC functionality in all four primary GRC management (GRCM) functions -- audit management, compliance management, risk management and policy management -- and they have executed across several industries with support for multiple professional roles."
Gartner defines EGRCM as "the automation of the management, measurement, remediation, and reporting of controls and risks against objectives, in accordance with rules, regulations, standards and policies."
Oracle provides an enterprise GRC platform that integrates business intelligence, GRC process management, and automated controls enforcement to enable and align risk and compliance management. The Oracle GRC platform consists of [ Oracle® Fusion Governance, Risk, and Compliance Intelligence ], [ Oracle Enterprise Governance, Risk, and Compliance Manager, Fusion Edition ], [ Oracle Governance, Risk, and Compliance Application Controls ], and [ Oracle Governance, Risk, and Compliance Technology Controls ] and supports organizations' financial governance, enterprise risk management, IFRS, IT GRC management and environmental sustainability initiatives.
