APOS Solutions - Governance & Compliance

  1. Corporate
  2. Regulatory
  3. Information Technology
  4. Information
  5. Distribution
  6. Data

APOS well managed BI solutions assist with all forms of governance as they relate to your SAP BI and Analytics deployments and the solutions integrated with those deployments.

BI Query Surveillance's capabilities improve your ability to assert control over connectivity in increasingly self-serve / ad hoc BI environments.

The BI Report Testing module of APOS Insight provides efficient report testing for strong SAP BI system change management controls.

APOS Storage Center

APOS Storage Center

APOS Storage Center is the core technology that makes a system storage strategy possible. Your system storage strategy is one of the keys to enforcing corporate, IT, information and data governance, giving you control over the content on your system, while preserving documents in their many versions for long-term availability and regulatory compliance.

You can use Storage Center's automated, business-rules-driven, intelligent system clean up capabilities to secure your content, with versioning, and in neutral formats that are not dependent on often-changing data sources.
Storage Center's promotion and system replication capabilities assist governance by ensuring orderly transitions of content between deployments

Storage Center's selective restore capabilities allow you to restore content to its original location, or to a new location of your choosing. So, in the case of events such as audits, you can restore the content to be audited - and only that content — to a location separate from other potentially sensitive content.

Achieve regulatory compliance by maintaining "document-of-record" integrity throughout the
backup, archive, restore, and migration processes.
