PointCross Ships 'SOXCom(TM)' a Rapid-Deployment Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Solution, and 'Orchestra(TM) FDK' - A Customer-Configurable Funnel Process Design and Deployment System

HOUSTON, April 16 /PRNewswire

PointCross, Inc. is now shipping their SOXCom solution for Sarbanes-Oxley, FASB 69, SEC, EU Privacy-Law compliance -- announced at the recent SPE's Digital Energy 2004 conference in Houston -- as well as their Orchestra Funnel Development Kit (FDK) for deploying corporate- wide Continuous Process Improvement models like Six Sigma, CMM, ISO, both based on the Orchestra(TM) business information platform.

SOXCom seamlessly documents and enforces the workflow required by auditors and for compliance after the Sarbanes-Oxley 404 board audit committee assessment. SOXCom automatically sequesters all employees from their normal email practice and infrastructure, so all communications will be first captured, organized, classified, and contextualized before they reach the target recipients. SOXCom is initially released as an enterprise solution using a standardized and scalable configuration on WinTel Blade servers, and is but one application built with the PointCross Orchestra technology. Orchestra FDK provides all the building blocks needed for toll-gated processes, including representation of different phases, specific checkpoints and decision-tracking controls necessary from start to finish. The FDK supports configuration of business rules and enables consolidated views of projects, thereby providing immediate visibility into portfolios enterprise wide. SOXCom is yet another solution built on the Orchestra platform.

"Orchestra FDK represents an entirely new way for business users to model their processes in a fraction of the time and effort compared to traditional solutions," said Suresh Madhavan, PointCross founder and CEO. "The net result? Overnight, our customers will eliminate scores of home-grown database applications and save money."

"Most importantly," continues Madhavan, "Our customers measure positive ROI in weeks, not years, with quick and substantial wins." "Our SOXCom compliance solution is just one application of our Orchestra technology," concludes Madhavan.

"We couldn't resist flexing our muscles and showing the value we could quickly deliver by seamlessly integrating a 'contextualizing layer' between back-office e-mail technology and desktops enterprise wide. SOXCom will go a long way to inoculate our customer's companies against the risk and consequences of a governance breakdown. SOXCom is just the tip of Orchestra's potential."
