    MetricStream is well suited for when you need to pull a report into Excel for further analysis. It is not good for when information needs to be entered as this is all done manually by analysts and managers. If we can implement a way to take parts of uploaded documents and have the system automatically enter the information in the designated fields in MetricStream, it would cut out lots of manual work for our department.

    In my opinion, SAP Process Control is well suited for bigger companies with an already mature Internal Control System as well as for bigger companies who want to completely new/redesign the internal control system. The size of the company, as well as the budget, is quite important when thinking about the implementation of SAP Process Control. A smaller company with e.g., 150 people should think more about implementing SAP FCM.

    • Default delivery of controls could be done by SAP on some basic controls like client openings, password controls, etc
    • The messaging or customization of messages in different workflows is limited, which could be introduced to enhance the product
    • SAP Process control does not have the capability for cloud product monitoring which is required with more SAP cloud products available right now

    Alternatives Considered
    MetricStream
    Archer is more risk-management-friendly in that it has a better interface and more room to conduct risk-related tasks and pull reports.

    The connectivity with other SAP products out of the SAP GRC suite, like Access Control and so on, was key for the decision. Also we had an already mature SAP System landscape as well as having internal processes that were similar to the SAP Process Control standard processes helped us with the decision to implement SAP Process Control.

    • Automated alerts for controls issues
    • Workflow capabilities; however, there's natively only 2 levels of review. More layers would be beneficial.
