Alliance Laundry Systems Selects SymSoft's ControlPanelGRC to Preempt Segregation of Duties Issues and Control Violations in SAP
SEC-reporting Company Centralizing IT Audits, Compliance and Security Functions in a Way Unattainable with First-Generation SolutionsMILWAUKEE, October 04 2010 – SymSoft Corporation, a provider of Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) solutions for SAP® environments, today announced that Alliance Laundry Systems has selected ControlPanelGRC to prevent control violations and eliminate remediation issues.Ripon, Wis.-based Alliance Laundry Systems LLC is the leading global manufacturer of commercial laundry products and provider of services for laundromats, multi-housing laundries and on-premises laundries. While not currently subject to Sarbanes-Oxley, the company is taking a proactive approach to compliance action in advance of any future mandates. The $400-million company was faced with maintaining and updating spreadsheets to document potential Segregation of Duties (SOD) issues. It lacked any tool to centralize and capture the real-time status of these issues. The time and effort to pull the relevant reports also were daunting. "We selected ControlPanelGRC because of its superior functionality and features relative to competitive products," said Scott Chiavetta, CIO for Alliance Laundry. "ControlPanelGRC's feature set and price point represented the best overall value proposition of any product we evaluated. We contacted a number of ControlPanelGRC references and found there was unanimous positive experience with the product." SymSoft's second-generation suite of modular, integrated GRC applications address the major areas of compliance at every level for SAP users. Implementation of ControlPanelGRC took just four days. "The skill of the SymSoft team handling the implementation and training was absolutely top notch," Chiavetta said. "ControlPanelGRC is a very intuitive product. At the enterprise product level, the installation went as smoothly as any implementation I have experienced." ControlPanelGRC gives Alliance Laundry a number of GRC benefits, including the ability to access real-time information. In addition, the company can centralize IT audits, compliance and security functions in a very effective manner. "The real-time capabilities of ControlPanelGRC give companies, such as Alliance Laundry, the confidence that when an audit comes, they will be ready and not just hoping for the best," said Dan Wilhelms, President and CEO of SymSoft. "This leading GRC tool also lets executives remain focused on external market issues and reduces the lost opportunity costs that audits can create internally." "Small- to medium-sized businesses," Chiavetta added, "are justifiably suspicious of ease-of-installation claims and feature comparisons. ControlPanelGRC is one of those products that break the mold." About SymSoft Milwaukee-based SymSoft Corporation offers professional solutions for compliance automation. ControlPanelGRC, its second-generation Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) suite of modular, integrated applications, addresses the major areas of compliance concern at every corporate level for SAP users, especially in heavily-regulated industries. Developed by SymSoft and supported by Symmetry Corporation's 14 years of SAP experience, ControlPanelGRC compliance audit software provides an affordable, robust toolset with functionality not available from first generation products. As a result, executives can satisfy compliance requirements while workflows for SAP Security and Technical administration are accelerated for improved productivity and responsiveness.
