Internal Audit
Audit projects require tremendous amount of data to be looked at from different viewpoints. Using the SAMU Suite, you have a great platform for the continuous management of enterprise architecture. Additionally, the Suite has all the structural and reporting capabilities you require for auditing.
| Main challenges | How can SAMU help? |
|---|---|
| Obtain structured architectural information | SAMU provides a repository of your enterprise architecture objects in the structure you define in your meta-model. |
| Understand dependencies | Multi-layer relationships and views can be built, which help you to identify links and dependencies between business and IT objects. Sophisticated rules can be applied when creating reports allowing you to receive a totally focused view of the problem space. |
| Get a full audit trail of objects and change processes | All changes in architecture and the change management process itself are logged continuously. You get a full audit trail of actions performed. With the Time Machine function of SAMU, you can go back in time and get reports of the architecture available at that point. |
| Create ad-hoc reports | Depending on the context of investigation architecture data stored in the repository can be looked from different viewpoints. With the powerful reporting engine of SAMU you can create your generic reports or compose more focused viewpoints on demand. As for everything in SAMU, you can set access control to reports on a comprehensive manner. |
