He said, "The market is deciding that connected financial and HR processes are the most effective approach, and our technology is leading this movement. We believe critical financial and employee data should be entered only once and flow seamlessly through to the required external financial reports."

Certent customer Cynthia Wallace, Sr. Director of Legal Services and Governance for The Cooper Companies, explains the benefits of this approach. "Certent's united approach to equity award management allows us to connect our award recipients directly to our selected broker while enabling the company to manage our equity compensation program in-house. The ability to connect our payroll and equity management systems ensures our employee demographic data is up to date, communicated through secure channels and consistent across all appications where it is needed."

"Amid a fierce business climate, there seems to be no shortage of new and established companies that are unlocking a seemingly unlimited potential for growth and advancement through technology's continued disruption and proliferation across industries," said Sandra Shirai, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader. "It is inspiring to witness the innovative ways that companies are incorporating emerging technologies for business gains, be it cognitive computing, or the Internet of Things.
