End-user computing applications are putting your business at risk. The question is “how much?”

Putting spreadsheets, analytics, models and other end-user controlled applications in the hands of your staff empowers them to perform. It also creates a myriad of opportunities for material errors and information security compromises.

At best, your staff spends hours manually checking their work, trying to spot their own mistakes. At worst, they don't check at all. You make bad decisions based on incorrect calculations, customer or other sensitive data falls into the wrong hands, or you might have to re-state your financials . . . the list goes on.

Ineffective controls can cause:

Material errors
Restatement of financials
Fraud and/or data loss
Regulatory fines/penalties

What you can lose:

Reputation
Stock value
Sensitive information
Revenue/market share

CIMCON enables you to virtually eliminate the risks

We selected CIMCON's software to not only support our audit and SOX-compliance activities but to provide an additional resource for aiding our business partners. The software can be used by my team with minimal training and provides a significant amount of functionality to address many of the risks associated with complex spreadsheet files.

We have had tremendous success with CIMCON's EUC Insight Discovery Software. Unlike other vendors' products that we tested, EUC Insight Discovery provided us with an enormous amount of valuable data right out of the box, within a few days. EUC Insight Discovery gave us the information that we needed to identify and eliminate a significant number of potential opportunities for a security breach. We have successfully deployed EUC Insight Discovery globally in Paris, New York and London for a major French bank for risk monitoring with over 20 million files scanned to date. I am highly impressed with the performance and scalability of such a tool and the outstanding level of support received from CIMCON at all stages of deployment.
