GRC Process Control Implementation timeline

[Former Member]

Dear Expert,

How long is the implementation of GRC Process Control?

and

When will the new version of GRC Process Control will be released for commercial package?

Please advise.

[Former Member]

The installation part ie: Java/NW can be finished in under 2 weeks depending upon how new/clean the box is you are installing upon and your change control procedures.

The implementation project can take days/weeks/years depending upon

1. The scope of the project ie: departments, divisions, companies involved

2. the number of controls involved

3. the number of business processes involved

4. internal vs external consulting team avilability

New version 2.5 will be moving into Ramp Up soon, I suggest you contact your sales rep who will be able to advise on availability dates

Regards

Simon

Dear Expert

We have heard that Process control 2.0 is going to be replaced by version 2.5.Is it true?

Could you tell us how much time would it take for implementation of process control for medium sized enterprise?

What could be the major differences between the two versions?

Could you also let us know what are the prerequisite qualifications needed for becoming process control consultant and what is the future of GRC process controls?

Could you also let us know what are the prerequisite qualifications needed for becoming process control consultant and what is the future of GRC process controls? I would suggest that you have expereince of designing business processes as part of a process re-engineering project and probably either some form of experience or training in accountancy/auditing.
