News < Back Sarbanes Oxley : Technology : Database CaoSys Announces New Version of Oracle Apps Toolkit
CS*Applications consists of several products, all of which have been designed and built specifically for use within the Oracle E-Business Suite. The suites core compliance components include CS*Audit which brings powerful and easy to use data auditing capabilities; it allows its users to implement complex audit policies in a rule driven hierarchical manner. CS*Comply provides segregation of duties and general user access internal controls. CS*Secure supports the creation of data security policies that can hide and mask data at both row and column level database-wide. Another tool in the set that brings both compliance and productivity capabilities is CS*Accelerate, this enables its users to enhance and augment existing screens within Oracle to help improve security, usability and efficiency. Alongside the compliance aspects of the toolkit, CS*Applications also offers a number of productivity tools. Its flagship offering is CS*Form which allows non-technical users to build and deploy complex extensions to Oracle E-Business Suite in the form of standard look and feel interactive screens. CS*Form can be used to create single, simple querying/reporting solutions to multiple screen complex mini-applications. The product claims to offer development times that are an order of magnitude less than what is traditionally required. The tool is aimed at almost any user of the Oracle E-Business Suite, from power users to functional consultants to system administrators to developers; it can be put to productive use within minutes. The company also offers a scaled down version of CS*Form called CS*Rapport. For ad-hoc querying CS*Enquire offers a simple embedded interface for writing and sharing SQL based queries within Oracle E-Business Suite. The entire suite is fully integrated into Oracle E-Business Suite as a single install that delivers a standard look and feel. All of the tools are generally designed for use by non-technical users, which can further help to reduce cost of ownership and the burden on expensive IT resource. CaoSys has improved the capabilities for importing and exporting content within their solutions, most components now use standard XML as a means of moving content from one system to another, this greatly simplifies the logistics of managing solutions created using the tools. They have extended the automatic email notification system within their segregation of duties solution (CS*Comply) to help improve efficiency when dealing with access requests. They have introduced AccessGuard, a new component that is included with CS*Comply that brings what they call a 'brute force' method of controlling access to risky functions within Oracle E-Business Suite. A traditional SOD type of tool scans the system for what it considers conflicts based on a predefined matrix, CaoSys offer this within CS*Comply but AccessGuard takes a different approach in that it allows you to flag functions as high risk in their own right and therefore deny access across the board by default and only grant access on specific cases; this approach allows high risk functions to be guarded very quickly without the need to define a conflict matrix and then scan the system searching for violations. In addition to the enhancements already mentioned they have also improved many other areas across most products. Particular attention has been paid to CS*Audit, its user interface for building audit solutions has seen many improvements as well as the introduction of hierarchical audit rules to allow for greater control of what gets audited. Audit solution configuration and security cloning has also been included to make building multiple audit solutions much easier. The new version (build 221) is available now and can be downloaded for use on development and test servers for unlimited evaluation directly from the CaoSys website at www.caosys.com.
