O2Micro® Selects WANdisco for Sarbanes-Oxley Compliant Multi-Site Development
PLEASANTON, Calif. & GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman, Dec 06, 2006. O2Micro(R) International Limited (NASDAQ(R):OIIM)(SEHK:0457), a leading supplier of innovative power management, and security components and systems, today announced its selection of WANdisco's Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliant Concurrent Versions System (CVS) to support their globally distributed development efforts.
In an ongoing effort to manage various regulatory costs, like SOX, O2Micro chose the services of WANdisco over other security options available for CVS that offer limited support and restricted audit reporting capabilities.
"The fact that WANdisco can address regulatory requirements imposed by SOX which are starting to impact software development organizations and intellectual property protection made a big difference for O2Micro," said Steve Krems, Information Technology Director at O2Micro. Mr. Krems adds, "With this implementation, we anticipate network performance improvement, and a reduction in development cycle time and risk of valuable intellectual property losses."
"We are delighted that O2Micro selected WANdisco to help protect some of its most important assets," said David Richards, President and CEO of WANdisco. "Securing source code that is developed on a worldwide basis is now an imperative for any public company."
