QCloud - Audit as a Service Very Rapid, No Effort….......Answers So lets look at how Audit as a Service can help you Make finding the answers internally or for external audit very easy
QCloud Audit as a Service – a Huge Time Saving Existing audit processes are manual IT staff create reports SQL/manual Cobbled together spreadsheets Auditors Review & Question (& loop) Tools Specialist On-Prem (Audit Manager) Expensive & Very Complex (Oracle GRC/AACG) QCloud Automates Customer Log In Request, Review Download Report Typical audits for ERP software are performed manually IT staff create reports over their systems to show the level of security of their application. These reports are either done manually using current reports that the system generates or they are cobbled together into spreadsheets based on data exports. The reports are then reviewed and interrogated by the auditors until the authorization to the system is deemed to be secure. Q Software has audit processes today that work On Premise and then back in our audit environments to produce the reports for customers to then show the auditors or the CFO of the business. Q Software is now able to bring automation to the audit process so that customers can sign up for audits and have the software in our cloud review, collate and report back on your system. Customers log in to our Q Cloud portal Customers can request a new audit, review old audit information, or download previous audit reports. Customers can see historical information of the audits that have been run in the past on the Q Cloud. Q Software is starting off with JD Edwards EnterpriseOne, but will be expanding to other ERPs in the near future. (more on that later)
