PSS Systems CEO Deidre Paknad to Speak About the Role of Breakthrough Technologies at RFG Risk Summit

Business Wire, June 6, 2005

PALO ALTO, Calif. -- Deidre Paknad, president and CEO of PSS Systems, the leading provider of information policy management solutions, will speak on a panel at the Robert Frances Group (RFG) Summit on "Reducing Risk, Restoring Trust: A Leadership Role for IT" on June 15, 2005 in New York. The panel, titled "The Role of Breakthrough Technologies and Processes in Reducing Technology Risk Levels in the Enterprise," is moderated by Evan Bauer, Principal Research Fellow at RFG and former CTO at Credit Suisse First Boston.

"In an era of new risks and regulations, enterprises require innovative, new technologies to help them achieve their business goals while managing risk," said RFG's Evan Bauer. "For example, with legal and compliance activities now having a larger impact on technology spending, IT departments need to be aware of how to apply technology to mitigate legal risks as well as minimize technical risks. Our panel discussion will focus on new insights and ideas for how to achieve the right balance of risk in your technology portfolio."

"Ironically, one of the greatest sources of both legal and IT risk is the overwhelming volume of data that companies create, store and struggle to manage," said Deidre Paknad, president and CEO of PSS Systems. "It is critical to explore the intersection of IT and legal/compliance needs and how breakthrough technologies can optimize risk and reward for both."
