"OpenPages has backed its dominant position in the market for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance with a strong vision for operational risk management and IT compliance," said Westerman. "I look forward to sharing my knowledge and experience with OpenPages as it develops the next generation of governance, risk and compliance management solutions."
