Based on its Universal Content Management architecture, which has been deployed by customers for a variety of compliance processes such as those related to HIPAA, ISO 9000 and FDA approval, the Sarbanes-Oxley Solution from Stellent is designed to help companies efficiently manage and approve content related to financial and non-financial disclosures as well as Section 404 compliance. Stellent further says the solution enables companies to address the initial documentation and identification of key processes and controls as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and automates testing processes to ease the ongoing resource requirements.

The company adds that the offering allows all of the various parties involved in the compliance process to quickly, easily and securely create, manage, share, track, approve and archive all information pertaining to disclosures and financial reporting with minimal training, using only a browser. The software is personalized for non-technical business users, such as auditors, accountants and chief financial officers, and includes an interface that uses field-specific terminology and guides people through the system. Stellent says the offering supports any file type, including rich media files such as earnings conference calls or videoconferences, and automatically converts content to Web-based formats, such as HTML or PDF.

Also, Stellent will collaborate with Protiviti, an internal audit and business and technology risk consulting firm, to support customers in managing their Sarbanes-Oxley requirements.

Stellent reports key features of the solution include:

• automated process documentation collection and process testing, in tasks related to testing internal reporting processes;

• secure collaboration;

• audit trails;

• personalized interfaces;

• secure, Web-based access by internal and external users;

• digital rights management; and

• records management.
