At uIT, our team provides support in making IT systems and environment secure,
well-controlled and in line with legislation. At the same time we strive to ensure

productivity and effectiveness. We have years of experience helping our clients identify
and assess information security risks, which may significantly influence the continuous
and secure operations, thus put their ability to generate revenue at risk. In addition,
our talented team of advisors will assist in designing and implementing information
security controls that help to keep your organization in compliance with both legal
requirements as well as international regulatory standards.
Due to our vast experience, we are able to combine in-depth solution experience,
a collaborative risk-based approach and flexible options to meet your objectives — all designed to minimize risk without hindering growth opportunities.
“Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing” – Warren Buffett
Is your implementation progressing successfully and in compliance with not only
regulatory standards and legislation but your company’s policies and procedures?
Are you sure? Or do you have concern it be falling off the tracks?
At uIT, we approach project compliance and oversight activities not as the “big brother” looking to find fault
and burden the project but as a trusted advisor and team member who asks hard questions and surfaces potential
risks, finding solutions to such risks before they become issues, and actively helping people in an organization
develop the insights, skills, and controls needed to avoid or overcome such risks in the future.
Our experienced Controls & Compliance consultants have a combined 100yrs of SAP implementation
experience while playing the role of controls and compliance project members. We take the
approach of immersing ourselves in the project and being one of the team members to develop
an in-depth understanding of the projects goals, objectives, risks and success criteria.
We work closely with the Project sponsor, and we meet with key internal and external stakeholders
to get their perspectives on a project's structure, status, and issues. We establish a working
relationship with your internal and external audit partners so there are never surprises or
audit risks to milestones or go-live dates. Throughout, our goal is one of supporting success
rather than finding fault. We get "plugged into" regular status meetings and work sessions.
In our experience, how project work is done is often as––or more––important than what is done.
With this approach we have proven time and again our ability to steadily gain respect so that
we will be perceived as a trusted source of help and support.
At uIT, we pride ourselves in our ability to help our clients grow from within. By leveraging
the depth and breadth of our experience within the field of SAP Release management, Governance &
Compliance we are able to jump-start the establishment of a competency center for our clients.
A fully functional competency center will not only streamline your audit and compliance activities,
reducing cost and increasing productivity but will also help provide visibility to upper management
around SAP audit/compliance and change and release activities. The structured processes and
procedures that uIT brings to your organization help to provide visibility, for both business
and IT stakeholders, and control to critical day to day operational processes. Our
approach will streamline all of your release, change, and compliance activities thus
increasing productivity, reducing risk and lowering cost for day to day operations.
uIT’s program not only works for your production support activities but also for major
implementations.
Many aspects of implementations are left until the infamous “Phase Two”. For a variety of
reasons this cleanup phase often never comes or does not quite meet theinitial requirements
that were laid out during the initial implementation. Sometimes attention and money is turned
to new technologies or pressing projects. Often there is turnover in expert staff without proper
knowledge transfer. Recently, changing market conditions have caused a shift in priorities
away from IT projects. Instead, there has been a greater emphasis on making what is already
in place last a little longer and work a little better. In this day and age most everyone
understands the need to control “changes” and ensure that these changes are compliant. It
is not enough to manage changes by making sure they fall within compliance guidelines.
With uIT all of the processes we help companies put in place are designed to leverage each other
when applicable and build upon one another to ensure all changes are fully auditable and compliant.
We strive to streamline the process and allow the continuous enhancement of your SAP systems in a
cost effective controlled manner.
By implementing an SAP Release & Compliance Competency Center the goals are to ultimately
raise confidence by producing fewer errors in production during both production support
activities as well as implementations, to make the business units happier with the IT organization,
and ensure developers will find the repeatable process easy to work within, testing will become more
comprehensive, and lower organizations total cost per change with more effective testing performed
over the release cycle. By leveraging uIT’s unique blend of experience across compliance and
release management companies are able to achieve tangible benefits in these critical day to
day processes.
