Process Configuration Insight Software Capabilities
-
Baseline ERP Settings and Configurations
Take a "snapshot" of your process configurations when best-practices are in place. From that point on, Process Configuration Insight continuously monitors your systems to detect any important changes, such as changes to the three-way match flag or changes to acceptable tolerances or required fields.
-
Proactive Notifications
Immediately alert the relevant stakeholders if a process configuration setting changes unexpectedly or a control is violated. Users can also subscribe to regularly receive reports via e-mail.
-
Automated Reporting
Process Configuration Insight provides an audit trail that demonstrates that your process configurations have remained in place over time without unauthorized changes. Reporting can be automated to push the right reports to the right managers or even document repositories.
-
Best Practice Business Rules
Use out of the box, best-practice business rules specific to your ERP environment. Rules are organized into a library of easy-to-manage rulebooks that have owners and can be locked. In addition it is easy to edit rules or build new rules to match your specific business process and control framework.
Strengthen Business Process Controls
Replace manual controls or transaction sampling techniques with automated and continuous monitoring of process configurations. Save time and effort in managing the control, testing the control, and reporting on the results.
Reduced Audit Preparation Costs
Reduce the time and disruption of preparing for your audits. Reports and audit trails are stored for easy retrieval and can be pushed to any kind of document repository. Store records of any changes to process configurations and provide evidence that settings have remained in place over time.
Reduce Risk of Mistakes or Fraud
Use out of the box, best-practice business rules specific to your ERP environment. Rules are organized into a library of easy-to-manage rulebooks that have owners and can be locked. In addition it is easy to edit rules or build new rules to match your specific business process and control framework.
Improve Effectiveness of Payroll Controls
Prevent mistakes and fraud from occurring by immediately identifying changes to the system that violate corporate policy and could introduce risk. By catching such configuration changes early, systems can remain more secure and improper or unauthorized transactions are avoided.
Approva allowed IT security to close out several audit findings within two months and improve visibility into the system settings. If a change is made we can track it. This has allowed the security team to improve performance and security.
