The need for compliance and governance plays a major role in modern corporations. Be it a quality assurance initiative such as the ISO standards, a financial audit law such as Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), or an IT systems best-practice implementation such as ITIL, companies worldwide are seeing the need to manage compliance as part of their everyday business activities.

Regardless of the program, clarifying and reengineering business processes is the basis for improvement.

The level of scrutiny that is placed upon your company during a compliance audit requires significant documentation of approvals, resources, changes, and adherence to the policies that are laid forth by the process improvement program. The entire compliance process can lead to costly changes within the company organization in order to fulfill the requirements of documentation, audit trails, and approvals.

The EPC features a workflow-based audit manager that allows your company to easily conduct audits on any object in the EPC repository. By maintaining your data in the EPC, with full audit trails, version control and approval history, it becomes easy to draw on information and generate audit reports. Furthermore, our audit manager orchestrates the entire audit process from end-to-end, removing costly manual tasks involved in a comprehensive audit. The EPC manages the complete audit lifecycle, from creation of test plans to monitoring corrective actions. All audit plans are saved in the EPC for complete reusability. Audit results are maintained in the EPC repository for future reference and verification. The EPC makes the audit cycle a pain-free process, helping your company verify that all the checks and balances are in place in order to ensure full compliance and instill confidence in C-level management.
