ClusterSeven Named Finalist in Risk Management Awards 2017

LONDON, August 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

ClusterSeven, the leading global supplier of strategic spreadsheet and end-user computing (EUC) management software, has been shortlisted in the 'Best Use of Technology in Risk Management' category of the CIR Risk Management Awards 2017. Now in its eight year, the Risk Management Awards recognize those organizations that have significantly added to the understanding and practice of risk management.

"With organizations under increasing pressure by regulators to eliminate spreadsheet-related mishaps, spreadsheet management must form part of every organization's risk management strategy," commented Henry Umney, CEO of ClusterSeven. "A lack of control over the spreadsheet environment, which is substantial in most organizations due to the widespread use of this application, poses a major risk to businesses. Non-compliance can not only lead to crippling fines and penalties, but to long-term reputational damage. A technology-led approach is the only fail-safe way to minimize spreadsheet risk."

Umney added, "We are delighted that ClusterSeven has been shortlisted. It represents recognition by the risk management industry that there is a very real business need for spreadsheet management."

Judged by an independent panel of experts for exceptional performance, the awards provide an opportunity for organizations and individuals to showcase their best products, projects and people.

The winners will be announced at the Risk Management Awards Gala Dinner & Ceremony on 9 November, 2017 at the Millennium Hotel London Mayfair. In 2016, the event was attended by over four hundred guests. For more information on the awards, visit: http://www.cirmagazine.com/riskmanagementawards.
