SAP Process Control vs. Verint Financial Compliance

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.

trading turrets are a unique phone solution that allow up to 30 simultaneous calls and this is one of the few call recording solutions that is designed to interpret those media streams correctly and show them as separate calls. It can also allow playback directly to the turret which is useful to the end users.

• Native connection to SAP applications
• Automated monitoring process of SAP applications
• Workflow capabilities for control testing

Incentivized

• identifies individual conversations on the turret
• allows direct playback from turrets without a proxy
• includes an announcement feature (you call may be recorded...)

• 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

• license usage and reporting is a little confusing
• purging empty/silent recordings was not simple

The documentation provided was simple to follow and includes the configuration required on the turrets and many other common phone systems. It has role based access control meaning that supervisors can log into the web interface and view recordings for only those users or devices that they should be able to see, while not being able to disrupt the system.

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.

Qfiniti was our previous recording solution, but could not handle the turret media streams, despite us trying to manipulate its settings. Verint financial compliance also has an import function for a number of systems, including a custom CSV import option so we could get all the old recordings and metadata from Qfiniti when we migrated too.

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

Incentivized

• meets the recording compliance needs for a turret solution
• playback from the turret means little user training required
