ELUPEG - People
Governance takes place at two levels - the Steering Board and Advisory Committee..
The Steering Board
The Steering Board carries the fiduciary responsibility for the management of ELUPEG. As well as being responsible for the legal, financial and marketing requirements that come with running any business, the board makes the day to day decisions about meeting content, sponsorships, affiliations and overall direction. As a non-for-profit organisation, ELUPEG relies heavily on the willingness of board members to give generously of their time.

OmPrompt’s Business Connectivity as a Service enables business communities to exchange information freely, removing the barriers caused by lack of interoperability between IT systems, business processes or information formats – whether electronic or document by nature. Currently, over 70% of all global supply chain transactions are still mis-connected. OmPrompt feels this is simply not good enough. We allow businesses to exchange data in the way they want and receive it in the way they need.
