Approva BizRights Achieves ECC 5.0/MySAP ERP 2004 Integration Certification

September 26, 2006 - Reston, VA

Approva® Corporation, the leader in continuous controls intelligence software, today announced that its BizRights Adapter Version 3.0  has been certified for SAP’s ECC 5.0/mySAP ERP 2004.

The BizRights Adapter is a component of the BizRights Platform, which enables BizRights to interface with various ERP and business applications.  The BizRights Adapter supports mySAP and is a collection of ABAP modules designed to extract a wide variety of data in an efficient and scalable manner.  The BizRights Adapter can also perform provisioning tasks such as creating user accounts and assigning or revoking roles. 

The certification tests performed by SAP Labs were done with the BizRights Adapter Version 3.0 installed and running on the SAP Web Application Server (WAS) 6.40 and tested with data from an ECC 5.0 / mySAP ERP 2004 production landscape.  This is the third major release of the BizRights Adapter that has been certified.

The certification assures customers that SAP Labs, Inc. has reviewed and tested BizRights to ensure it operates properly with mySAP ERP 2004, ECC 5.0, and WAS 6.40. Achieving this certification demonstrates Approva’s continued commitment to support and work with SAP under the guidelines of SAP Labs certification programs.

“This certification is a continued validation of our strong technical and business relationship with SAP,” said Prashanth (PV) Boccasam, CEO of Approva. “Enterprises that rely on BizRights for insight into their control environments can be confident that our solutions are highly compatible with their core SAP environments. Working effectively with ECC 5.0 and mySAP ERP 2004, BizRights customers will cost-effectively automate compliance, improve business efficiency and increase their return on their SAP investments.”
