IFS Simplifies Sarbanes-Oxley Act Compliance

IFS announced a new packaged software solution that reduces the time and cost of compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA). Designed to help mid-size and large organizations easily and efficiently monitor key processes for performance and accuracy, IFS’ software simplifies compliance with even the most complex aspects of SOA—SOA Sections 302 and 404.

“With the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act,” said Michael Nordin, IFS North America president, “most companies, whether they are public organizations or private enterprises seeking investments, are facing lengthy, expensive audits. However, by deploying IFS software with its advanced event server capability and comprehensive project management capabilities for streamlining and certifying internal audits, organizations can more easily identify high value accounts, document, monitor and measure internal processes and disclose material events on a real-time basis.”

The IFS SOA software solution is fully integrated with IFS’ suite of 60+ web-based business applications.  Since IFS Applications are component-based, companies can implement the SOA modules they require now, quickly and cost-efficiently adding other capabilities and applications as their requirements grow and change.  And, there is no need to change any specialized systems already in place. Without requiring costly system integrators, IFS Applications can be easily integrated with other enterprise suite solutions, point solutions and even legacy systems.
