Compliance Reporting
(Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, HL7, SWIFT, and More)

Meet Regulatory Guidelines Through the Effective Use of Business Intelligence The need for compliance with government mandated regulatory guidelines is becoming more prevalent in today's complex business world. Some compliance reporting mandates, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 affect publicly held companies in virtually all industries while others, such as HIPAA, Health Level 7 (HL7), and SWIFT are targeted toward specific vertical industries including healthcare and financial services.

A well-designed business intelligence system can aid in meeting compliance reporting guidelines by sharing critical information with all members of an organization who need it in easy-to-use reports and spreadsheets, and by providing a complete audit trail as to how these reports and spreadsheets were generated.

Also important is a data integration infrastructure that accesses the native data sources in an efficient and optimal manner so as not to impact operational systems that also rely on these data sources.
