Product Spotlight: Dynamics AX 2009 Compliance Center

Companies today are more actively focused on business compliance requirements. Following a rash of corporate scandals, new laws like Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) - along with increased scrutiny of existing government compliance regulations - have created a challenging environment for business executives.

Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 supports compliance enforcement by deploying an out-of-the-box Compliance Center with Windows SharePoint Services. The Compliance Center simplifies compliance efforts and helps keep business information secure through a comprehensive set of tools to manage and control electronic content. The internal control environment helps facilitate corporate governance over business process content, internal control documentation, audit information, and reporting and provides a graphical overview of the control effectiveness and document status.

Dynamics AX 2009 Compliance Center

Read the Compliance in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 whitepaper for an overview of what compliance is, to understand the challenges organizations face in an increasingly compliance-focused environment, and to learn how Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 helps organizations reduce their total cost of compliance.
