Evolution Delivers Streamlined Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance in Three Words:
Save Thousands of Dollars Spent on Investigation, Regression
Testing, and Documentation with Evolution
Today companies are becoming more and more dependent on information systems to manage data, inventory, investments, and financial results. Often, management assumes that "someone" in the Technology organization has appropriate control over who has access and what is being done with this access. Often, this assumption is wrong or grossly inefficient given the size and complexity of an organization's system access and change management requirements. SOX requires that management provide an opinion on the effectiveness of internal controls throughout the organization.
How Can Evolution Create Cost Savings and Improve Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance?
Management and Technology have implemented costly, inefficient, and ineffective manual change management and user access processes. Often these involve outdated tracking spreadsheets and manual reconciliations that cannot guarantee accuracy or completeness. Through its proprietary process and file control methodology, Evolution can eliminate the need for costly and time-consuming manual work-arounds and deliver a suite of automated preventive and detective controls. How can management deliver on requirements to comply with SOX while still meeting cost/efficiency save targets? With just three words...
Authorization
Using flexible promotion ladders in conjunction with Evolution's fine grained security model, restrict access to code based on role. Access to production machines and networks can be restricted, while still allowing developers and quality assurance staff to cause files to be deployed automatically when components are attached to promotion stages.
Implement approval stages to ensure that only authorized business applications are deployed.

Completeness
With Evolution every change to your code base is captured and recorded. The is never any question of when, who and why a change was made.
Evolution can control the entire universe of change in your process.
|
Accuracy
Evolution's unique "Production" system allows you to promote snapshots of code through layers of authorization. Because of this, you will always know with absolute certainty what code is deployed where.
Deployment becomes an automated process controlled by software instead of an error-prone manual procedure.
Through automated process controls and Evolution's ability to report on exactly what production code has been changed and deployed, and just as importantly what has not changes, days or even weeks can be saved from regression testing schedules.

Lower the cost of SOX compliance this year and every subsequent year with Evolution.
In today's SOX environment, it is not sufficient to assume that "someone" has control over your user access and change control methodology. Current manual detective controls may not be aligned with the organizations risk tolerance; with many critical decisions and financial reporting being dependent on system outputs. We believe you should be confident with your management of system related risk through robust controls, without sacrificing costs. A shift to Evolution will create stronger controls and minimize costs through automation and flexibility.
