Opentech leader in GRC solutions

By Carlo Camerata, Partner, Opentech solution

Within the business information system, the need for integrated application software solutions for the correct and effective management of governance, risk and compliance processes, known as GRC, is increasingly evident. The rapid evolution of technology, the numerous regulatory requirements, which are constantly updated, the various risks and the necessary controls put to the test those company managers, who have to carry out many burdensome and time consuming tasks. It is increasingly necessary, managing current complexities and critical issues, to pursue the achievement of corporate objectives and performance with the observance of rules and long-term ethical and a sustainable behaviour.

The managers of the Corporate Control Functions are severely tested by numerous and time consuming tasks; they must deal with the rapid evolution of technology, with the numerous regulatory requirements, constantly updated, with the various new risks and the related controls.

So, our motto is: “If you want go far, let’s GO together”

Opentech has been operating for many years exclusively in this sector with the GO GRC suite, which includes a wide range of integrated solutions on a common platform, in progressive evolution in terms of technology, functionality and architecture. These solutions, according to the OCEG model, manage all the different GRC areas: external standards, company policies and procedures, integrated compliance process, control system, operational risks, anti-money laundering, third parties, IT risk, privacy and GDPR, complaints, business continuity and workers’ safety. They support Corporate Control Functions and the various Committees, Organization, IT, Compliance, Legal, Risks, Purchasing, Internal Auditing, DPO, CFO, Board of Statutory Auditors, Supervisory Body, in an integrated and consistent manner, in synergy with the business and the corporate organization

GO suite solutions have been preferred by major clients, of various sizes and types, leaders in their respective sectors: primary banking and financial groups, gaming companies, airports, companies and bodies of the public administration. Over the years, Opentech has also strengthened its collaboration with consulting companies, supporting their different methodologies and specificities

Solutions conceived for user operability

Our achievements with our customers and partners are related to the quality of our products, their comprehensiveness and flexibility, especially the ability to adapt to the different ways in which users interact for their respective Functions in different organizations.

It is essential for us to understand the needs of each individual user and to simplify our offer accordingly, customizing it as much as possible to those needs.

The change from the traditional vision of software and information systems in general and the transition to a modern digital economy implies the need to adapt quickly, eliminating technological constraints, adopting software and solutions that ensure ease of use and greater flexibility in updating and scalability, so as to ensure the competitiveness of costs, which will have to dynamically adapt to the company's business.

We like to be “software craftsmen,” whose aim is to offer high-quality products, using more and more technological innovation and avant-garde methodologies adhering to organization’s specific needs in the GRC arena

Collaboration with universities, professional associations and consulting companies, on one hand, and with major technology companies (Microsoft, IBM, ...) on the other, allows us to keep pace with the technological, organizational and functional evolution necessary for a vendor. This ensures that our developers and functional product managers are always up to date and motivated to achieve the following objectives

Moreover, thanks to the experience and skills acquired to date, we are able to cater to the needs of customers operating in different contexts, with a complete range of products and professional technological services in the various GRC applications.

A talented team

Technology is the driver of innovation and always stems from the talent of individuals. The real value of a company is represented by the people who work for it, especially in the case of a company like ours which does not manufacture rigid products but provides solutions which have to be as personalized as possible in order to cater to the client’s needs.

For us, the selection of personnel is an important and crucial step. Anyone who joins the Opentech team has to be a competent person with strong and solid human values; nearly all are university graduates with certified technical training. And I am proud to say that our staff turnover is negligible.

Our Competence Center consists of industry experts and professionals who study best practices and produce innovative solutions. The professional persons who work in the Center can boast extensive and diversified experience in their different technological sectors, while at the same time ensuring the use of the best methodologies and practices. Thanks to an Agile approach, we are specialized in developing integrated solutions with the aim of improving already-developed services and products, creating new products and services as well as innovative solutions.

A value-creating “software boutique”

We share our knowledge: we believe in the transparency of both our corporate culture and our solutions and this is how we build lasting relationships based on trust. We put ourselves to the test: with a culture guided towards the frontier of technology, we love providing solutions to complex challenges.

We are passionate: we work with experts in our respective fields, united in achieving a common goal, enthusiastic about creating Value for our customers. We are open: we want to be open in the truest sense of the word, to technology, to innovation, to market, to customers, to partners and to employees. The corporate climate at Opentech is also frank and transparent. We all share realistic goals and feel free to achieve them without counting the time spent physically in the office, but following creative flows that facilitate debate and freedom of expression.

In this regard, we have tackled the recent and ongoing pandemic with determination and courage, fulfilling all our commitments and using this period, in which we were forced to work from home, as an opportunity to ensure further growth.
