SYNTEX MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS HOSTS ERM PREFERRED PRACTICE SEMINAR AT UNION STATION

Seminar registration reached full capacity in first couple of weeks!

HOUSTON, TX, August 29, 2006 --/WORLD-WIRE/-- Syntex Management Systems, Inc., a provider of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) software solutions, is pleased to announce the kick-off of a series of Syntex Preferred Practice Seminars that began last month at the Union Station Conference Center in Minute Maid Park. This first seminar reached its space capacity in the first few weeks of registration!

These events bring together industry leaders who are focused on implementing incident management, proactive assessment programs, and operational management system initiatives focused on reducing their overall exposure to risk. The objective of these series is the sharing of best practices in the management of operational, financial, regulatory compliance, environmental, safety, quality & security risk. Additionally, the seminars address the evolutionary process companies can take to move towards achieving enterprise-wide risk management and operational excellence.

In this initial seminar, Operational Risk stakeholders from The Shell Group and Valero shared their "real life" experiences and ideas on Operational Risk Management. These business leaders have improved their risk management performance through the integration of many different operational processes such as incident management, corporate assurance, and proactive assessments into a single common platform for strengthening risk mitigation competence and effectively enabling Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) within their organizations.

"These series are a great opportunity for industry leaders and experts to share lessons learned and best practices around turning operational risks into opportunities through the integration of their various compliance, regulatory, and process improvement initiatives into a single framework for predictable, consistent execution," Trend Derr, President & CEO, Syntex Management Systems, Inc.

The most recent session included the following presentations along with related roundtable discussions:

"Best Practices in Increasing Near Miss and Potential Incident Reporting" Vince Frederick - HSE Advisor/Incident Management Process Team Leader, Shell Group
"Delivering Common HSE Performance Tools Through a Rapidly Growing Refining Business" Randy Patton - Corporate Safety Director, Valero
"Establishing a Platform for Managing Enterprise Risks" Joe Stough, Executive VP, Syntex Management Systems, Inc.

In upcoming sessions, attendees will discuss how industry leaders are:

Improving operational performance through integration of proactive and reactive processes;
Effectively applying a risk matrix methodology to prioritize corporate-wide mitigation efforts;
Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of performance improvement initiatives;
Executing repeatable processes for incident / near miss, investigation, and action item management;
Enabling a culture of open risk communication.
