Harvard Computing Group Releases SOX Compliance Solution Linking Best Practices and SOX Process Maps

June 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Marlborough, MA – Harvard Computing Group (HCG) today announced the release of SOX Expert TaskMap® Edition, a low-cost, integrated software solution for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Based on more than 55 best practice process maps and over 800 SOX compliance controls, the system will shorten audits, reduce risks and cut compliance costs dramatically.

“At an introductory price of $7,995, this solution represents an outstanding opportunity to reduce SOX compliance costs for large and small organizations alike,” said Mike Cunningham, HCG President and CEO.

“Organizations wanting to rapidly visualize, understand and comply with SOX requirements can use this solution by themselves in a couple of hours, without the need to hire hoards of expensive, external consultants,” Cunningham continued.

The SOX compliance solution is a joint venture with SOX XPress, LLC, a long time provider of high-end SOX software and services. By combining HCG’s TaskMap® technologies for the capture and visualization of processes with SOX Expert software and best practices from SOX XPress, the companies are offering a very unique value proposition.

“We believe that anyone can use the software to streamline their SOX compliance efforts to a matter of days, not weeks. In addition, our customers can use the included controls to mitigate risks for more than 800 activities,” said Jim Schwei, Partner and Founder at SOX XPress.

“In addition, the system automatically builds process maps of the affected tasks and highlights controls at risk through color coding. This provides a high-level dashboard for management to determine compliance requirements quickly and without incurring huge costs to get that information,” said Dan Anderton, also a Partner at SOX XPress.

SOX Expert TaskMap® Edition is based on Microsoft Visio and Excel technologies making it simple to use in any financial desktop environment.
