What is Certification Manager?

Certification Manager makes periodic user access reviews a straightforward exercise by automating the review and approval process for business transactions. It automates the end-to-end process across ERP systems and other business applications. Comprehensive, easy to understand summaries are routed to approving reviewers to accept or revoke access rights for their teams. All actions are tracked and retained to facilitate the sign-off by senior management.

Certification Manager Software Capabilities

Fully Automated Review & Sign-Offs

Certification Manager automatically sends email notifications to reviewers to initiate the review process. Reminders and alerts notify managers when action has been taken. Email notification routing is configured based on user-defined criteria (ie. role naming conventions, user attributes, organizational values, etc).

Detailed Reporting for Auditors

Detailed audit reports provide an audit trail of the review process that streamlines external audits and eliminates time-consuming preparation.

Easy-to-Understand Reports

Dashboards provide a snapshot of key information and can be personalized to represent information according to user preferences.

Supports Access Reviews for Multiple Applications

Gathers fine-grained information on user access rights across multiple applications, including legacy systems so managers only need to review their employees’ access once.

Reduced Risk & Fraud

Accurate and easy-to-understand reports ensure that the review is a meaningful process and not just a “check the box” exercise.

Reduced Audit Preparation Time

Saves hundreds of hours each audit cycle since reports can be produced automatically without laborious preparation and sleuthing.

Faster Review Cycles

Eliminates the disruption for IT and finance managers in the typical review process. Automated processes with accurate reports eliminate time consuming e-mail exchanges and preparation.

Lower Compliance Costs

Automated processes with documented audit trails significantly reduce audit preparation time and streamline external audits.
