23 Compliance Standard Solutions for Lotus Notes Applications

Teamstudio?s product suite combines auditing and data integrity features making it easier for IT organizations to comply with government regulations and data quality standards

Teamstudio, the global leader in software asset management solutions for Lotus Notes, announces today the release of Teamstudio? Edition 23 with improved auditing technologies that monitor application design changes, standards violations, and the data integrity of Lotus Notes documents. This major feature enhancement release of the Teamstudio tool suite makes it easier for IT organizations to conform to government compliance regulations and address data quality standards.

Teamstudio Edition 23 features an upgrade to Teamstudio Validator, a data integrity tool that audits Lotus Notes documents and reports on compromised functionality to ensure a robust set of applications. Validator now has the ability to resolve replication and save conflicts within database documents, enabling administrators to protect the data integrity of those documents.

?Because 90 percent of all business records today are electronic, data integrity issues can challenge your core business due to inaccuracies,? said Ian Smith, president of Teamstudio. ?With the passage of government regulations like SOX, how these records are managed, processed and stored come under greater scrutiny. Teamstudio Validator enables organizations to lower their risk arising from mismanaged data.?

Teamstudio Edition 23 also introduces enhanced features to its flagship products for compliance, Teamstudio Analyzer and Teamstudio CIAO!. Teamstudio CIAO! produces a comprehensive audit trail of the development process, allowing developers to track their design changes. Teamstudio Analyzer improves the quality of business applications by allowing Lotus Notes developers and administrators to audit the application for standards violations, defects, or migration issues.

?Within the Lotus Notes environment, developers, managers and auditors lack an audit trail to allow traceability of changes made to code. This can be costly to any organization facing an audit where they are required to track the history for mission-critical applications,? said Smith. ?Teamstudio CIAO! allows development organizations to produce a complete audit trail of all design changes by individual developer, including when and why those changes were made.?

Teamstudio Edition 23 feature enhancements include:

Teamstudio Validator
With added Resolver technology, Teamstudio Validator allows users to:

• Find and fix replication and save conflicts
