Aptelisense - Compliance software
There are lots of choices when it comes to reporting Intelligence. Most organizations use a mash-up
of individual products, scripts and spreadsheets. Although no single product can claim to provide a total solution, because Aptelisense
Compliance Automation Server (CAS) is not aligned with any product, it can monitor most of your types of data
source in near real-time and alert you when any of your key performance indicators has crossed a boundary.
CAS allows you to monitor your live data in many types of datasource including: ODBC and documents and validate any change against your rules. CAS has the ability to compare data values from one source against one or several sources and only report when the validation fails your rules. Rules can be configured to do simple validation ie: 'notify me when our sales drop' to more complicated: 'validate a new invoice, check its value is not above the supplier limit, check the account is not a duplicate, check only one invoice is paid per month, check it is within a percentage of the previous and check the authorizer is valid'. You can also define the same rule in multiple scenarios.
Using CAS, you can monitor your deliverables to your customer or your suppliers deliverables to you straight from your contract documents. Why not monitor how many units are being shipped (in near real-time) against the number defined in your contract and if the total doesn't match for the previous period, alert you? Why not automatically monitor your stock levels too and receive alerts when certain levels are exceeded? You could do the same with your suppliers!
Use CAS to monitor your customer performance. For example, you can monitor their debt level against their payments and receive alerts when too much debt is accumulating with each invoice or over a certain period. You could also do complete validation on the invoicing to check that invoices are not duplicates and the account number is valid (no double dipping) etc.
CAS is installed or supplied on its own server and only requires read-only access to your live data. Because CAS does not require any application or system changes, it does not introduce any risk to your current systems or impact your business insurance. CAS operates on your live data and removes the risk of using old or stale data.
CAS has been designed to be simple and easy to use. The target users of CAS are less technical business users who may feel comfortable using Microsoft Excel. CAS removes the need for any programming and provides a simplified configuration interface that hides the normal programming skills that are required when using other tools. Because of this simplicity, CAS can be operated by your business users rather than your IT department. Once your users have been trained, they should be able to develop their own rules without any further help. To further assist your users becoming self sufficient, every field on each of the CAS screens has context sensitive help.
CAS was designed to be secure and does not trust anyone with its data. It encrypts its configuration and data using a 256 bit algorithm. This means that if someone was to attempt to remove the configuration or data, there would be little risk of the data being legible. This also means that employees would not be able to 'massage' any of the data collected and reported by CAS. You will always be able to see the true history via the CAS dashboard
