I work for an organization that is just launching a SOX pilot. We are not required to implement as of yet, just being proactive. We are looking at possibly using some software to help us with the pilot implementation and possibly for the greater project if green-lighted down the road.
However, based on my own research, it does not appear that there is a major leader or a major advantage of using one at this stage. As far as linking with internal controls go, our systems (at least the majority of the operational applications) are not based on any of the big platforms like peoplesoft or oracle, so I'm not sure how useful that would be unless we went through some type of major mapping process. We looked at Enforcer, but it did not seem that it would be of great help to us in getting this smaller pilot off the ground.
In anycase, what I am wondering is, does anyone stand out as a clear winner/favorite for launching a sox project with built in templates, checklists, etc.? Thanks,
Rob
