Dynamics GP Security

The Microsoft Dynamics™ GP system is one of the premier midmarket Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) products available today. Dynamics GP is a full featured business management solution and includes modules for Finance, Manufacturing, Supply Chain Management, HR and Payroll, Business Intelligence / Reporting and a wide variety of other functions through standard and third party modules. Dynamics GP is widely installed in North America and other countries across the globe, with a global installed base of over 39,000 customers.

However making sense of the sometimes vast amounts of complex data in your ERP - especially when it relates to access management, audit-readiness or SOX-compliance - can be a significant challenge. Out of the box Dynamics GP does not contain any facilities or reports to quickly understand and determine the following:

· Who has access to powerful setup and configuration commands?

· Who has access to powerful transactions?

· Who has access to conflicting duties?

If your auditor were to ask you, “Who can add and delete users in your organization?” ; “Who can alter and perform general ledger setup functions, add new companies and change the chart of accounts in your ERP system?”; “Who can perform vendor maintenance, process purchase orders, invoices and payment checks?”

Do you know? Would you be able to answer with confidence?

We have created a solution – D3CIFER for GP - that uses advanced analytics techniques to efficiently and thoroughly assess the audit-readiness of your Dynamics GP ERP system from a user access control perspective. Using a proven process, we can pinpoint potential control exceptions and / or deficiencies and enable you to create a proactive remediation plan.

Customers for the D3CIFER for GP solution have chosen it because it is:

• Comprehensive – enables you to understand the key risks in your system across all users, companies and roles,

• Cost Effective – saves companies time and money compared to manual processes,

• Efficient – generates quick and accurate results,

• Actionable – our results are provided in electronic format, permitting users to drill down and further explore issues and remediate control exceptions.

Our output is in electronic format (Microsoft Excel) so you can drill down and further analyze the results. Contact us for details of how we can improve the effectiveness of your ERP review in a very cost-effective manner.

The D3CIFER for GP solution is non-intrusive i.e. no software is installed! Our review has minimal impact on your accounting processes!

We have worked with Dynamics GP versions 8.5 to 10 and both English and foreign language versions.
