Open Design, Universal Application

Consider a Group of Companies with global operations in telecommunications, manufacturing, banking and insurance. These are diverse businesses with their own controls and compliance needs requiring a monitoring framework that is universally applicable. SymSure™ Monitor is perfectly suited to access and monitor data from Telecom switches, to ERPs, to bespoke applications and core banking and insurance applications. Regardless of the databases being used, SymSure can monitor all these business processes and effectively improve compliance and controls.

SymSure™ Monitor’s open design allows users to build customized monitors using established scripting tools such as ACL™, IDEA®, Arbutus™ and SQL Scripts. With these scripting tools and SymSure™ Monitor’s framework, customers can monitor any control in any business process.

This approach allows the customer to focus on scripting the basic logic and having the framework handle everything else. For example, to monitor the creation of overtime claims in excess of the number of work hours in the period, the script writer can apply a simple logic of OvertimeClaim > HoursInPeriod.

The remaining stages of the process are handled by SymSure including:

• when and how often the data is to be monitored
• who is to be notified
• how they are to be notified (e-mail, SMS, dashboards, etc.)
• the risk level associated with the control exception
• who is responsible for resolving the issue and the turnaround time
• who the exception is to be escalated to, if unresolved
