Vancouver, BC, July 14, 2020 – Galvanize, the global leader in SaaS governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) software, today announced that the California High-Speed Rail Authority, the public body overseeing the construction of the nation’s first high-speed rail system, has chosen its HighBond GRC platform to find efficiencies through an improved audit process.
To identify potential processes to streamline and move beyond manual systems, the Authority Audit Office took a methodical approach to analyzing workflows and pinpointing areas for improvement. The team identified a need for a flexible audit management tool that would improve functions like searchability and iterative planning, while providing critical real-time insights to support the decision-making process for the organization.
“The implementation of Galvanize’s software in the California High-Speed Rail Authority’s audit office is part of an ongoing effort to make the audit function a proactive component of the Authority,” said Paula Rivera, chief audit executive, California High-Speed Rail Authority. “As we create a first-of-its-kind high speed rail in the US, it’s critical we’re able to use data to provide timely insights to assist with decision-making. It was also key to find a solution that would help future-proof the audit function through the ability to scale and attract new tech-savvy audit talent as the project continues, while supporting cloud-based, work-from-home collaboration.”
The Authority will specifically be deploying AuditBond, a flexible audit management solution designed to drive efficiency from planning to reporting. Its real time dashboards, one-click reports and powerful analytics, used in combination with ACL Robotics, save significant time and cost by automating data preparation, analysis and remediation.
“The California High-Speed Rail Authority has an incredible opportunity to deliver the first high-speed rail in the U.S. We are very pleased about this partnership and the opportunity to automate their audit needs and requirements to deliver on this exceptional project,” said Pascal Van Dooren, chief revenue officer, Galvanize. “Our solutions are proven to help organizations move beyond cumbersome, manual systems, and put their data to work informing decisions. We’re excited to work with the Authority to help them efficiently realize their vision of a new type of transportation system for California.”
