Governance, Risk and Compliance Solutions from SAP and Novell
Integrated GRC Solutions
Novell and SAP are expanding our existing global partnership to provide customers with integrated governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) solutions. These joint offerings allow enterprises to manage risk and easily ensure compliance through our strategic combination of business relevance and IT assurance. As a result customers will be able to enforce business policies, enhance compliance assurance and simplify risk management in real time—allowing enterprises to improve business performance and reduce compliance costs.
Increased Compliance Across the Enterprise
The combination of Novell Compliance Management Platform and SAP BusinessObjects GRC provides a sustainable and enforceable GRC solution. SAP BusinessObjects GRC solutions define and govern compliance and security related policy for the enterprise. Integrated with Novell's unique capabilities of capturing, automating and monitoring events that affect the policy, SAP and Novell bridge the gap between business processes and IT controls, enabling customers to use the cross-enterprise solutions for strategic advantage, improved business performance and reduced costs.
Ensure Integration Across the Enterprise
As the only solution that is certified for SAP BusinessObjects GRC Access Control, the Novell Compliance Management Platform extension for SAP environments is an example of how the gap between SAP and non-SAP systems is bridged. The solution integrates roles provisioned in your SAP solution with non-SAP systems across the enterprise. This allows you to safeguard and increase the value of your existing SAP investments, and also improves the value of your other systems.
Lower Audit Risk
With SAP BusinessObjects GRC and Novell Compliance Management Platform, enterprises can have confidence that the right controls are automated and in place so only authorized employees have access to sensitive business information when they need it. Having this common set of enforced controls provides transparency to business processes across the enterprise. The joint solution ensures enterprise-wide provisioning, prevents inefficiencies from resource silos and duplication of controls and offers an automated process to discover and remediate high risk business problems.
Greater Value and Lower TCO
Managing risk across the enterprise can be complex, time consuming and costly. To address this, Novell, the leader in identity, security and compliance solutions, and SAP, the leader in business process risk and compliance, are collaborating on the integration of GRC solutions and delivering the next-generation agile enterprise. This integrated solution enables improved performance, simplified risk management, and reduced compliance costs through the strategic combination of business relevance and IT assurance. The resulting compliance and risk management program becomes a powerful strategic business asset for the organization.
