AuditBoard, which was founded in 2014 by former PwC and EY auditors
Daniel Kim and Jay Lee, will use the financing to support product
development, accelerate sales and marketing and build new business
partnerships. Customers include large public companies now required to
comply with complex regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley as well as areas
of operational audit work and risk management such as compliance with
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) or Payment Card
Industry (PCI). AuditBoard provides an end-to-end solution and a system
of record for internal audit, compliance and risk teams.
“Our company was founded on a simple vision: Businesses want an
easy-to-use, comprehensive and integrated tool to help them report and
manage all their audit and compliance activities, and to manage risk,”
said Kim, AuditBoard’s CEO. “Today, too many auditors are cobbling
together different tools to do this, including old-fashioned
spreadsheets, and it is hurting the quality of internal controls.”
Kim started the company four years ago with his childhood friend Lee,
developing an early version of the AuditBoard product after working as
an internal auditor at large, publicly-traded companies.
AuditBoard has experienced hyper-growth since its inception. The company
serves customers across industries, ranging from private, pre-IPO
companies to Fortune 500 clients, including TripAdvisor, Lululemon, HD
Supply, Express Scripts and Spirit Airlines. Now, the company looks
forward to a new phase of growth. “We’re very excited to work with
Battery, which has invested in many other financial-tech companies, to
continue AuditBoard’s expansion, including launching new products and
building our partner network,” said Lee, the company’s President.
Added Battery’s Michael Brown: “We were impressed with AuditBoard’s
product and its customer traction. With more CFOs now turning to
dedicated, cloud-based software tools for various tasks, from ERP to tax
compliance to procurement, we see a big opportunity for AuditBoard to
continue to grow. We have invested before in similar companies that sell
technology to CFOs—ranging from Avalara* and Intacct* to Outlooksoft*
and Bonfire*—and we are excited to partner with Daniel, Jay and their
team, who have already built a significant business in a short amount of
time.”
In 2017, AuditBoard partnered with Donnelley Financial Solutions to
create the industry's best SEC reporting and SOX management integration.
“AuditBoard's fast growth in the industry is a testament to the demand
for improved audit technology. We're excited about our partnership and
confident that the leadership team will continue to innovate and empower
auditors and compliance officers into the future,” said Craig Clay,
President of Global Capital Markets, Donnelley Financial Solutions
(NYSE: DFIN).

Latest Stories By Liz McMillan  Modern software design has fundamentally changed how we manage applications, causing many to turn to containers as the new virtual machine for resource management. As container adoption grows beyond stateless applications to stateful workloads, the need for persistent storage is foundational - something customers routinely cite as a top pain point. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Bill Borsari, Head of Systems Engineering at Datera, explored how organizations can reap the bene...

It has potential to take the fundamental benefit of cloud platform leverage to another level.
"Focus on your application code, not the infrastructure"
All the leading cloud platform provide services to implement Serverless architecture : AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions, IBM Openwhisk, Oracle Fn Project. Feb. 18, 2019 08:30 AM EST | By Yeshim Deniz  As you know, enterprise IT conversation over the past year have often centered upon the open-source Kubernetes container orchestration system. In fact, Kubernetes has emerged as the key technology -- and even primary platform -- of cloud migrations for a wide variety of organizations.
Kubernetes is critical to forward-looking enterprises that continue to push their IT infrastructures toward maximum functionality, scalability, and flexibility.

In 2019 CIOs will see disruptive solutions for Cloud & Devops, AI/ML driven IT Ops and Cloud Ops.
Customers want AI-driven multi-cloud operations for monitoring, detection, prevention of disruptions. Disruptions cause revenue loss, unhappy users, impacts brand reputation etc. Feb. 18, 2019 06:00 AM EST | By Elizabeth White  In 2014, Amazon announced a new form of compute called Lambda. We didn't know it at the time, but this represented a fundamental shift in what we expect from cloud computing. Now, all of the major cloud computing vendors want to take part in this disruptive technology.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, John Jelinek IV, a web developer at Linux Academy, will discuss why major players like AWS, Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix, and Google Cloud Platform are all trying to sidestep VMs and containers... Feb. 18, 2019 05:45 AM EST | By Pat Romanski  Serverless applications increase developer productivity and time to market, by freeing engineers from spending time on infrastructure provisioning, configuration and management. Serverless also simplifies Operations and reduces cost - as the Kubernetes container infrastructure required to run these applications is automatically spun up and scaled precisely with the workload, to optimally handle all runtime requests.
Recent advances in open source technology now allow organizations to run Serv... Feb. 18, 2019 05:45 AM EST | By Janakiram MSV Serverless Computing or Functions as a Service (FaaS) is gaining momentum. Amazon is fueling the innovation by expanding Lambda to edge devices and content distribution network. IBM, Microsoft, and Google have their own FaaS offerings in the public cloud.

Feb. 18, 2019 05:30 AM EST | By Yeshim Deniz  The benefits of automated cloud deployments for speed, reliability and security are undeniable. The cornerstone of this approach, immutable deployment, promotes the idea of continuously rolling safe, stable images instead of trying to keep up with managing a fixed pool of virtual or physical machines. In this talk, we'll explore the immutable infrastructure pattern and how to use continuous deployment and continuous integration (CI/CD) process to build and manage server images for any platform.... Feb. 18, 2019 05:30 AM EST | By Jnan Dash  If you are part of the cloud development community, you certainly know about “serverless computing,” almost a misnomer. Because it implies there are no servers which is untrue. However the servers are hidden from the developers. This model eliminates operational complexity and increases developer productivity.

Feb. 18, 2019 05:00 AM EST | By Zakia Bouachraoui  Containers and Kubernetes allow for code portability across on-premise VMs, bare metal, or multiple cloud provider environments. Yet, despite this portability promise, developers may include configuration and application definitions that constrain or even eliminate application portability. In this session we'll describe best practices for "configuration as code" in a Kubernetes environment. We will demonstrate how a properly constructed containerized app can be deployed to both Amazon and Azure ...

It's the most prominent and widely known software container platform, and it's particularly useful for eliminating common challenges when collaborating on code (like the "it works on my machine" phenomenon that most devs know all too well). With Docker, you can run and manage apps side-by-side - in isolated containers - resulting in better compute density. It's something that many developer...
