David Thede, president of Bethesda, Md.-based dtSearch, explained, "An accelerating pace of IT development, evolving standards for enterprise self-governance, and a moving backdrop of multinational government regulations make this an area that is exponentially more complex now than in the past." He said Hopex's synthesis of these elements into one platform provides enterprises a "vital operational framework for navigating this terrain."
