Innovation feasible for compliance – Finovate Feedback

We had a very exciting week here at Continuity as Andy Greenawalt and Mickey Goldwasser went to FinovateSpring2010 to demonstrate Continuity Control! Before they left, last Friday we were treated to a practice session of the demo. The demo message was this: Continuity Control helps community banks and credit unions reduce their compliance costs (Compliance Tax™) with Apps that are easy to get, easy to use, allow easy monitoring and are guaranteed to work.

The passionate folks at Continuity truly believe that Control will revolutionize how community financial institutions manage compliance. By freeing up excess time and money currently associated with compliance (see ComplianceTax.com), credit unions and community banks will have more resources to get back to the actual business of banking. So, Tuesday afternoon, when the Control demo was scheduled to happen, most of the Control team was glued to the Twitter stream for #Finovate to see how our product was received.

As soon as we saw this tweet from NetBanker, we knew Andy and Mickey were on stage:

For the seven minutes that followed, we watched anxiously as the feedback began. What follows is a sampling of the tweets referencing Control’s demo.

OK- @continuitycontrols proved me wrong-innovation is feasible for compliance through app-store/SaaS model with “guarantees” imho #finovate

Additionally, here’s a blog post by Phil Ayres of Consected that gives an overview of the Control demo content. Mike Linskey live blogged the event and his comments about Control’s demo start on page 7. A few quotes from Mike’s blog follow.

ContinuityControl are compliance guys, and they’ve got a Compliance AppStore!

AppStore replaces RFP process & expensive consultants. Apps are easy to buy, are affordable (example is $199 a month for Bank Secrecy Act app), and based around to-do lists & supporting documents.

In addition to the photos in Mike’s blog, there are some great shots (including the one above) taken by Rob Kunkle of goodLux imagery and shared on Flickr. The video of Control’s demo (and the other 35 demo videos) should be available on the Finovate site in a few weeks. We’ll be sure to share with you as soon as it becomes available.
