Compassoft Inc.

Compassoft Inc., a provider of automated regulatory compliance initiatives, has made available the public Beta release of Compassoft[R] visibility software, a solution that enables financial and IT departments to achieve sustainable Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. With this release, the Scotts Valley, Calif., firm says, "Corporate financial and IT departments now have a powerful enterprise information asset discovery software that can automatically locate analyze and report on information stored within the entire enterprise-computing environment--from server to desktop."

Compassoft automatically discovers and maps dependent data sources, compares iterations of data sources and reports on critical changes to information assets across all distributed machines in the enterprise. The software complements existing enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems and professional consulting organizations by reporting on thousands of spreadsheets, Crystal Reports and databases that reside on desktops or centralized corporate servers.

Until now, Compassoft says, companies have been forced to rely on extensive interviews with key stakeholders and then sift through the files those employees have been asked to download from their hard drives. This manual process has proven to be extremely expensive in terms of consulting dollars, and unreliable because it depends on people's memories and cooperation.
