Infogix Press Room

Company Backgrounder

Founded in 1982 as Unitech Systems, Inc., Infogix, Inc. is the leading provider of independent automated information control solutions. Company Leader Madhavan Nayar founded the company as a one-man consulting operation pursuing a "customer-driven" strategy for self-funded growth. Today, Infogix serves hundreds of customers includinfg eight of the top ten financial services companies worldwide, and seven of the top ten U.S. life insurance companies. "Customer driven" continues to be a core value of the company, which also fosters a participative team-oriented culture consistent with the philosophy of Dr. W. Edwards Deming.

For information-intensive organizations that must mitigate information risk, Infogix provides enterprise-wide independent automated information controls that establish unmatched confidence in the information that drives the business. Unlike manual or disjointed controls, our comprehensive independent automated information controls platform validates the accuracy, consistency, and reliability of business-critical information throughout the entire information supply chain. As a result, our controls can pinpoint underlying risks in the business information. Additionally, the controls Infogix delivers conform to the standards set forth by both COSO and COBIT, and help companies comply with laws and regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley by assuring that their processes – and the information that they contain – are accurate, consistent, and reliable.

Beyond Controls – Information Risk and Information Supply Chains

Every organization is comprised of numerous information supply chains, which are defined as, the manner in which information moves within and between organizations. As information moves through a supply chain, there is potential for errors in the information as well as the information process. Similar to the flow of parts used in manufacturing, there are suppliers, receivers, and users of information.

The primary use of the information is to make informed business decisions. If the information in the information supply chain is not accurate, consistent, and reliable, an organization can be at jeopardy of Information Risk – a part of Enterprise Risk Management that is the risk of losing business, revenues, reputation, and customer confidence due to unreliable information. Information Risk magnifies all other forms of risk. There is great potential to increase costs due to bad information. Infogix deploys automated information controls at critical points throughout information supply chains to mitigate Information Risk and drive Information Integrity®.

Infogix represents the bringing together of information and logic to enable organizations to maintain Information Integrity. The new logo represents how we validate information (check mark) continually (circular swoosh) to ensure accurate, consistent, and reliable information (equal sign).

The Automated Controls Approach (ACA)

Infogix uses the ACA to outline how our products and services work together to help organizations effectively deploy and get the greatest value from automated controls. The ACA comprises four phases to assess information supply chains and determine where an organization has the most risk. From identifying risk exposures and implementing the required controls, to reviewing the performance and results of controls, Infogix delivers a comprehensive solution that can meet a company's automated control needs across a process – or the enterprise.

Infogix offers a portfolio of solutions delivered by highly experienced consultants. From identifying risk exposures and implementing the required controls, to reviewing the performance and results of controls, Infogix delivers a comprehensive solution. The ACA is based on more than 25 years of assessing, implementing, auditing, and operating information-based controls for companies with vast amounts of information and strict regulatory requirements. Following the ACA, Infogix works with organizations to ensure the greatest value from automated controls.

Infogix maintains its home office in Naperville, Illinois, and has regional offices in the U.S., Canada, and Western Europe, and affiliates in Italy, Chile, and Australia. For more information, contact us today.
