NAVEX Enhances Communication with AI-Driven Translations

NAVEX Global

NAVEX, the leader in integrated risk and compliance management software, announces the launch of a new NAVEX One platform shared service: dynamic machine translations. This first-to-market addition in the governance, risk and compliance (GRC) space will empower organizations operating across different countries to overcome language barriers, enabling accurate risk and compliance-related communication between employees, third parties and program administrators. NAVEX understands the challenges organizations face in maintaining accurate communication when dealing with sensitive data arising from risk and compliance tasks. Many organizations struggle with language barriers, hindering effective collaboration. With varying language skills among responders, the potential for misunderstandings and misinterpretations can be detrimental to decision-making and compliance efforts – especially in time-sensitive cases. "NAVEX is pioneering the future of machine translations within the GRC space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication," stated A.G. Lambert, chief product officer at NAVEX. "The integration of secure machine translation into NAVEX One makes it simple for GRC professionals to translate disclosures, assessments, and responses, leading to better communication and faster resolution." The introduction of dynamic machine translations addresses these issues and improves communication efficiency. With advanced artificial intelligence technology, this shared service allows end users to translate directly from the NAVEX One user interface. How machine translations work In the past, administrators encountered the repetitive task of manually copying text, relying on external translation tools, and then painstakingly inputting the translations to proceed with their workflow. However, with the introduction of the machine translations shared service built on Amazon Web Services (AWS), administrators are now equipped to address important matters promptly and efficiently, leading to quicker resolution rates. Moreover, administrators can assess third-party entities proficiently, regardless of the languages they speak or the answers they provide. The user-friendly NAVEX One interface makes translating disclosures, evaluations, and responses easy, promoting smooth communication and understanding. "By relying on the broadest and deepest set of cloud services on AWS, including Amazon Translate, NAVEX is able to use machine translations within the governance, risk and compliance space, directly tackling the complexities of multilingual communication,” stated Venky Nagapudi, Senior Product Management Leader, Amazon Translate, AWS. “The work between NAVEX and AWS makes it easy to translate disclosures, assessments, and responses, leading to better communication and faster resolution." Key benefits of NAVEX One machine translations include: Multilingual support: The system supports 75 languages, facilitating seamless communication with stakeholders worldwide. Accurate and reliable: Powered by advanced neural network technology, the feature ensures precise translation of critical information. Streamlined workflow: The translation functionality integrates seamlessly into existing GRC workflows, saving time and effort for administrators and responders. Cost-effective translations: Organizations can deliver faster results and decrease operational costs by reducing the need for external translation services. Data privacy: Advanced technical and physical measures, including encryption at rest and in transit, are used to prevent unauthorized access or sharing of content. Incorporating a dynamic machine translation service highlights NAVEX's continued commitment to fostering innovative solutions throughout the NAVEX One platform. By seamlessly integrating artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities, NAVEX continues to empower companies to overcome language obstacles, promoting cross-cultural teamwork and elevating the effectiveness of GRC processes. As NAVEX continues to leverage AI and ML, it cements its position as a leader in cutting-edge technology within the GRC space. The NAVEX One GRC – Information System Multilingual Machine Translation marks a bold stride in NAVEX’s innovative journey following the recent launch of the NAVEX Compliance Assistant. NAVEX's unwavering commitment to AI/ML innovation propels the governance, risk, and compliance landscape into a new era. By harnessing the power of AI, NAVEX is reshaping the compliance landscape, streamlining intricate processes, and automating tasks. This first-to-market shared service accelerates and enhances compliance initiatives while fostering clarity across your organization.

Lunatic Femme: A New Dimension in Lingerie That Ignites the Soul

Lunatic Femme

Lunatic Femme, a trailblazing lingerie brand, is shaking up the industry with its unique approach to design and empowerment. More than just boosting confidence or enhancing allure, Lunatic Femme is about igniting the soul, stirring what’s latent, revealing the hidden, and inspiring self-discovery. Proudly designed and manufactured in the heart of New York City, Lunatic Femme is contributing to the city's rich history of fashion innovation. Not only does Lunatic Femme redefine traditional beauty standards as an innovative lingerie brand, but it also serves as a driving force for soul expression. Whether you're feeling shy or bold, bored or stressed, there's something for you. From multi-way bodysuits that speak volumes to changeable, detachable harnesses that channel fierceness, removable ties that ignite passion to silk and lace that foster connection, Lunatic Femme isn't just about inclusivity—it's about guiding you on a journey of erotic self-discovery. A defining aspect of their lingerie is its adjustable nature, which breaks away from the standard small, medium, and large sizes. To address individual needs like needing more room in the hips or having a longer torso, an extra two inches of space on the straps have been thoughtfully included to provide a tailored fit, boosting comfort, confidence, and exploration. Plus, many of their pieces, like the Boa High-Waisted Panty and the Champagne Room 33 Lace-Up Bodysuit, come with detachable ties. These ties not only provide additional room, but also open up a world of playful possibilities. They can be used for adventurous and sensual play, wrapped around the body for harness-like looks or compression, or applied to the body as a silky means of play, discovery, or style. This unique feature sets their lingerie apart, offering a blend of practicality, versatility, and a touch of kink, ensuring each wearer can express their soul with the pieces in a way that’s uniquely their own. It’s no surprise that the philosophy behind Lunatic Femme goes beyond just creating luxurious lingerie. It's a brand that champions the power of self-love, the freedom of soul expression, and the joy of self-discovery. Lunatic Femme encourages individuals to explore their style, ignite their creativity, and feel empowered in their own skin. In a recent interview with renowned sexologist Dr. Jess, the company's founder, Stacy Baker, shared her vision and mission for the brand. Stacy emphasized the importance of challenging conventional beauty standards and creating a space where individuals can play while expressing themselves and their sensuality authentically. “We’re a brand that recognizes and celebrates that you’re not one thing — and so your lingerie shouldn’t be either,” said Stacy. “It should be a pleasure zone where you get to explore and express the full-blown breadth and depth of all you are, in all your moments and moods.” With sustainability at the forefront of their values, Lunatic Femme uses ethically sourced, non-violent silk and ensures fair labor practices throughout their supply chain. By prioritizing sustainability, the brand aims to make a positive impact not only on their customers, but also on the environment. In the words of Stacy, “guilt has no place when you’re unapologetically sexy.” Lunatic Femme's commitment to inclusivity, soul expression, and sustainability has garnered attention from fashion enthusiasts and industry experts alike. Infusing designs that captivate with a commitment to social responsibility, Lunatic Femme is not only poised to become a leading force in the lingerie industry, but also a catalyst for igniting self-discovery among its clientele.
