SymSoft ControlPanelGRC™ Provides SAP® Users with  Second-Generation GRC Solution  

MILWAUKEE--October 5th, 2009( BUSINESS WIRE )-- SymSoft Corporation , a provider of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) solutions for SAP® environments, today announced the general availability of ControlPanelGRC , a second-generation suite of modular, integrated GRC applications that address the major areas of compliance concern at every level for SAP users, especially in heavily regulated industries.

For the first time, organizations can embed compliance and automate workflows through capabilities unavailable before – in a cost-effective manner. Ultimately, the results drive business innovation and competitiveness.

“In this present era, where governance and economic conditions seem to be at odds, it's important for companies to leverage their GRC activities to drive more value to their enterprises,” said Dan Wilhelms, President and CEO of SymSoft Corporation. “ControlPanelGRC also gives users the lowest total cost of compliance through its thoughtful design and functionality while also providing a significant overall cost advantage, which makes it more affordable for organizations that need it.”

Developed by SymSoft and supported by Symmetry Corporation's 14 years of SAP experience, ControlPanelGRC provides a 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.

“ControlPanelGRC's second-generation solution reduces the time, expense and distractions associated with manual audits by embedding compliance into day-to-day operations and business processes,” Wilhelms said.

ControlPanelGRC integrates SymSoft's market-proven security and transport tools into a single, elegant compliance solution. The product's seven modules go beyond Segregation of Duties dictated by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) to complement and extend any pre-installed GRC solution.

The solution provides additional tools for security troubleshooting, Reverse Business Engineering (RBE) functionality for usage analysis, real-time notification of executed Sensitive Transactions , automated reporting, embedded workflows to ensure review and risk mitigation, and C-level executive dashboards for “state-in-time” views of compliance issues.
