  • Novell and Logica have partnered to bring a combined governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) offering with SAP to the market.

    The combined GRC solutions will address issues pertaining to regulatory requirements and financial market pressures that businesses need to deal with, by delivering the following


    • Performance - by improving predictability & automating and enforcing common controls while providing transparency to business processes across the enterprise

    • Assurance - by lowering overall risk and increasing external and internal compliance 

    • Simplification - by eliminating resource silos and inefficiencies and by automating the process of discovering and remediating high-risk business problems.

    Logica helps clients to implement three main modules of SAP GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) - Access Control, Process Control and Risk Management. Logica is the first worldwide partner of SAP on SAP GRC solution, except for external auditors. These SAP modules enable companies to centralize information coming from applicative environments in order to bring in transparency on company-related risks.

    Integrating risk management and process control into information systems enables a centralized and transverse procedure, placing risk management at the heart of business processes. This systematic procedure will ensure real-time monitoring of risks resulting in the ability to identify key risk indicators before an incident occurs.

    Commenting on this initiative, Markus J. Krauss, vice president, Identity & Security Management, Novell EMEA, said "This offering includes integrated governance, risk and compliance solutions to help bridge the gap between business processes and IT security and controls. Logica's industry knowledge, technical excellence, delivery expertise and focus on evolving business as well as IT processes will ensure that our customers reduce risk, lower costs and improve their business performance by deploying these solutions. We are committed to maximize the leverage of our customer's SAP investments."

    Sebastien Brasseur, director, SAP GRC business lead at Logica, said, "With Novell, we will ideally extend our end-to-end approach. Most of our clients are looking to integrate their access management and Identity Management solutions. In partnership with Novell, we will be able to provide a comprehensive enterprise-wide risk management approach and we look forward to bringing these benefits to our clients."
