• PII Reporting: While industry-specific law such as, Privacy Act of 1974, HIPAA, etc. existed between 1970-1990, the PII regulations came into limelight after introduction of GDPR, and CCPA in late 2010 and early 2020. Axcellent solution has partnered with a law firm to closely interpret the PII regulations for SAP ERP system. Based on that and our deep understanding of SAP ERP data set, we implement SAP ILM to conform to PII regulations based on your industry while continuing with archiving/DVM initiatives. The solution entails multiple disciplinary areas such as activation of business functions, configuration of rules/policies, discovery of record usage (transactional/master data level), and review of the results followed by selective destruction or blocking of the data. This sensitive process requires balances talent of knowledge of business, technology, and regulatory framework.

• Business Reporting (SAP BW – NLS – NearLine Storage): One of the major expectations of reporting warehouse systems is to offer “slide & dice” reporting capabilities of historical data/trends. OLAP systems have a different data structure (Star Schema) that is designed for such user expectation. This feature also requires a different DVM approach all together. Axcellent Solutions is familiar with all aspects of Nearline Storage (NLS) implementation. The initiative starts with data analysis, followed by business requirements gathering, configuration, testing, and mass migration.  Due to presence of multiple third-party NLS solutions in the market, we can evaluate your specific requirements against the capacities of each of them, and provide an objective view. NLS provides an effective solution to control the size of BW systems. Finally, our end-to-end ILM approach also includes disposition of BW/warehouse data that is no longer required.

• Tax-Audit Reporting (DaRT): SAP ERP is primarily a finance-centric system from its inception. While most of tax/audit reporting circles around finance areas, the supplementary sales/purchasing/real estate, and corresponding master data is often required. Axcellent Solutions’ profound knowledge helps to stream the implementation and best practices. For example, we can explain the best practice for exporting the historical DaRT extracts to Cloud infrastructure for cost conservation. Axcellent solutions have successfully implemented DaRT for many corporations (multi nationals) to meet their local/corporate tax & sales & use tax related audit requirements. Our qualified engineers not only configure DaRT quickly, but they can also enhance the tool for meeting custom requirements for both segments and reporting point of view. We also train end-users or power-users on how to create own views along with tips.

• IT/Technology Auditing and Reporting (Archiving, eDVM, ILM): Axcellent solutions deploys multi-approach for audits using native SAP toolkits. The first – orthodox and obsolete – approach is to build a custom report for reading archived data is no longer recommended and it is not clean core compliant for the most part. It is not scalable and ends-up as sunk cost when the one-time requirement is fulfilled. Second, we recommend deploying our certified AI-based tool ARIA to meet ad-hoc and simple compliance/reporting queries. The chatbot is highly flexible, secure, and interactive for accessing archived data of choice. Third, we recommend using our certified took NRS (NextGen Reporting Solution) for moderate to highly complex reports/queries. The tool offers a wide array of reporting capabilities with unique features such as, application-aware engine, patented resources-based process optimizer, access to archived data, etc. These bouquets of toolset can empower users to fulfil compliance requirements quickly and confidently. Feel free to contact us for a no-obligatory demo of our tool kits.

The penalties of missing or non-compliance can impact financially and business reputation. On one side, the introduction of AI, and deepfake have aggravated the complexities of compliance reporting whereas on other side, the introduction of the powerful AI has improved the speed of compliance reporting. We can tap the bright side of technology to work for you. Please contact Axcellent Solutions on how we can craft your eDVM policy while committed to your compliance obligations. In addition, Axcellent solutions have developed two tools to specifically bridge the gap – please visit NRS webpage or ARIA web page for additional details.
