The offering will draw on specialists from both companies, focusing on three specific service areas. The first will target compliance issues, both internally and from regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, using automated data collection methods.

The second offering is for security monitoring and management, from the assessment level to program design to implementation and operations. The third area is application development, focused on reusability and scalability.

The services will first be available in North America and Europe, and then rolled out worldwide in the next few months.
