Global Money Management Firm Chooses Shadow-Planner to Support Regulatory Compliance Initiatives

New York, NY, May 13, 2008- Office-Shadow, the premier business continuity solutions company, today announced that Putnam Investments, a global money management firm with 70 years of investment experience, has entered into a long-term agreement with the Company. After extensive research and evaluation, Putnam has chosen the Shadow-Planner suite of automated business continuity tools to help support corporate initiatives related to both corporate governance and regulatory compliance.

Putnam Investments is committed to ensuring that its 200 institutional clients and more than nine million shareholder and retirement plan accounts can receive uninterrupted service. Putnam selected Shadow-Planner as the automated tool to help ensure that its risk assessment, business impact analysis and business continuity plans are continuously updated, and always accessible.

Like many Office-Shadow clients, Putnam is taking advantage of the deployment of Shadow-Planner to review and enhance its existing business continuity practices and compliance with standards. While not strictly the responsibility of the business continuity function, important financial regulations and standards will be referenced, and related practices incorporated where appropriate. The implementation team is also taking steps to coordinate more closely the firm’s business continuity planning and disaster recovery planning efforts.

Nigel Hopkinson, CEO of Office-Shadow stated, “The benefits of using Shadow-Planner and the business continuity knowledge and experience of our staff convinced Putnam Investments to join our growing family of clients around the world.”
