Repository of Business Controls for Sarbanes-Oxley available
Montreal, Canada - DynaFlow Inc., leading provider of Business Modeling and Workflow Solutions, with offices in North America and Europe, today announced to have successfully delivered EZ-Compliance to the market. EZ-Compliance integrates Dynamic Compliancy Management within its EZ-Process suite, a certified Enterprise-wide Business Process Management (BPM) solution.
Analyst firms like Gartner and AMR Research consistently emphasize the importance of integrating compliancy measures within organizations' processes. Mr. Beaulieu, President of DynaFlow: "We are strong believers that SOX compliancy cannot be achieved by only filling out questionnaires with lists of internal controls by department. A proper infrastructure, to link these SOX controls to the relevant Business Processes and to dynamically monitor critical control points, is also required. It is by the linking of the controls to their corresponding work context that we are able to enhance the understanding of these by employee, and therefore insure a greater accuracy, completeness and validity of all operations".
The EZ-Compliance offering differs from other vendors. On one hand, it integrates Compliancy Management with enterprise-wide BPM, unifying the definition and optimization of the processes with the internal controls that insure their accuracy. On the second hand, its available SOX controls library, composed of several hundred predefined SOX derived business controls, provides organizations with a SOX repository facilitating a quicker and lower risk certification to SOX (or other regulations). The static and isolated Excel-based SOX controls lists, often obsolete within months, are replaced by online and real-time monitoring/reporting of critical controls. Finally, SOX requirement such as the “Management Review of User Accounts (COBIT DS 5.5)” is facilitated by dynamic reporting capability listing all ERP/other application access (Ex. Baan sessions) for each employee, as per their assigned user-role(s).
Existing organizations such as Herman Miller, which have embraced Process Management to optimize their internal & B2B operations, welcome EZ-Compliance and its SOX capabilities. Don Morren, DEM/BPM Manager for Herman Miller adds: "Herman Miller has been using EZ-Publisher since 2001 to deploy our Intranet & Extranet processes. We have also reviewed the new EZ-Compliance module of DynaFlow. The new module's ability to not only define and monitor internal Business Controls, and link them to the related Business Processes, is an attracting feature that would be supportive to companies going through the Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) initiatives, as we are."
