Covendis, a leading Vendor Management Solution (VMS) for the commercial and public sectors, was highlighted in a Senate subcommittee hearing: “Data-Driven Performance: Using Technology to Deliver Results.” The subcommittee hearing featured testimony by Brad Douglas, The State of Georgia’s Commissioner, Department of Administrative Services (DOAS).
The Covendis VMS program for the State of Georgia was highlighted for ensuring the completion of routine and periodic background checks on the State’s information technology (IT) contractors, something that had not been completed on a regular basis prior to Covendis.
Raymond Tsao, Covendis’ President and Chief Executive Officer stated “IT contractors have access to some of the most sensitive personal and financial information of an organization’s personnel, clients, and, in the case of the State, it’ citizens. Background checks are an important component of ensuring the security and integrity of that information, but are often overlooked or performed manually or sporadically. The Covendis Vendor Management Solution (VMS) and Managed Services Program (MSP) provides and efficient and effective way to standardize and automate critical parts of the onboarding and offboarding process and management of contractors. We’re pleased that our program has been recognized in public testimony as a way to improve organization effectiveness, something that can be applied to both the public and private sectors.”
