Infogix Controls
Infogix Controls are Independent Automated Information Controls that are deployed to continuously verify, balance, reconcile, and track information flowing through a business process, application, or exchange. They compare captured information against other diverse information sources, prior recorded information, and expected results. Control results can be used to generate alerts, halt erroneous transaction flows or error propagation, and generate reports and audit trails.
What Does an Infogix Control Do?
An Infogix Control is always working to keep your information and the processes and systems that handle it in check. You might have several or even dozens or more Infogix Controls deployed to assure the integrity of a specific business process. Each Infogix Control performs these functions:
|
Capture
|
Intercept or extract data from relevant sources such as report files, databases, application files, spreadsheets, messages, transactions, etc.
|
|
Compare
|
Apply your user-defined business rules to detect errors. Compare captured information to expected results. |
|
Control
|
Interrupt or alter processes before incorrect information propagates further. |
|
Communicate
|
Provide alerts, notifications, reports and audit trails. |

Principles of Infogix Controls
As leaders in Information Integrity solutions, Infogix has pioneered development of technologies offering the most important attributes of highly robust independent automated information controls.
|
- Automated – Infogix Controls execute as needed without human intervention. You can validate much more information in a timelier manner than manual controls.
- Independent – Infogix Controls operate independent of the process being controlled. Controls that are built-in to applications are not independent and are subject to many of the same risks that the application itself has.
- Continuous – Infogix Controls are able to execute as often as the applications, processes, and systems the control.
- Verifiable – Infogix Controls produce full audit trails to control results to speed error diagnosis, streamline audits, and enable effective controls monitoring.
- Standardized – A standardized approach to the deployment of controls significantly lowers their cost of operation and maintenance. Ad-hoc control deployments can prove costly. Many of our customers have made Infogix Controls the standard across their enterprises.
- Rule-based – Infogix Controls enable a lower cost implementation and maintenance without expensive software developers. This enables you to more easily keep controls in sync with changing business and regulatory requirements.
- Non-intrusive – Infogix Controls do not require data format changes within the applications or processes being controlled. The introduction of such changes, required by alternatives available in the marketplace, brings additional information risks and on-going implementation costs.
- End-to-End – Infogix Controls can track transactions as they flow through your business, between applications, computing systems, databases, and departments providing reconciliation coverage that spans your enterprise.
