Compli and Fisher & Phillips' PreventionPoint Forge Agreement to Collaborate on a Comprehensive Compliance Management Software Solution for U.S. Auto Dealerships
PORTLAND, Ore.--July 28, 2005--| Popular Compli Director for Compliance Management to be Extended with Content From Subsidiary of the Nation's Leading Employment Law Firm for Automobile Dealerships |
Leading compliance software company Compli(R) and PreventionPoint LLC, a subsidiary of national employment law firm Fisher & Phillips LLP, have agreed to jointly develop and market an expanded version of the web-based Compli Director(TM) software platform. The new 4.0 version, slated for release later this year, will include new functionality and content to manage pre-employment processes for automobile, truck, and RV dealerships in the U.S.
The pre-employment features will be added to Compli Director 3.0, which was introduced to dealerships in January of this year. This product fully supports auto dealership compliance with regulations concerning finance and insurance (F&I), consumer communication, sales management, desking, and employment practices. Compli Director also enables dealerships to manage compliance with a host of regulations related to environmental quality and workplace safety, along with Regulation M, Regulation Z, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), among others.
"We are pleased to collaborate with PreventionPoint, the human resources technology subsidiary of Fisher & Phillips. With more than 9,000 U.S. auto dealerships as clients, Fisher & Phillips is the nation's top employment law firm for dealerships," said Compli Chairman and CEO, Ken Thrasher. "Under this agreement, we will add Fisher & Phillips' pre-employment compliance content to supplement the next version of Compli Director, which will be available later this year. Adding Fisher & Phillips' and PreventionPoint's unmatched knowledge of employment practices for auto dealerships will make Compli Director even more valuable to the market."
David C. Whitlock, CIO of PreventionPoint, said, "Through this agreement with Compli, our firm can provide even more value to auto dealers with an affordable, easy-to-use compliance management system that will automate and streamline the compliance requirements of all employees through the entire employee life-cycle, from pre-employment qualification of job candidates through separation. The next release of Compli Director will help to significantly reduce employee turn-over, streamline the hiring process to save dealerships time and money, give dealers the tools they need to manage overall dealership compliance, and reduce the risk of litigation."
