RE: PROGRAMMER ACCESS TO PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

["Kandel, Ed" <EKandel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Candy and others interested in Sarbanes Oxley compliance,

A reminder (as others have mentioned this)...: 
MAPICS is hosting a "Tech Talk" Webex that discusses Sarbanes-Oxley. Please
plan on attending this session, also be ready with good questions...

Attached is a clip from the MAPICS site...:
================ Begin clip ==================
How to use the MAPICS functions to assist in meeting the Sarbanes-Oxley
requirements - Wednesday, October 27th, 15:00 GMT, 11:00 EDT.
Sarbanes-Oxley driving you up a tree?  You generated the security reports
and they were over a thousand pages long!  Attend this session to get a
sense of direction on the best way to address this problem.  Not only will
you get our suggested method, but you will also be able to ask questions and
to get input from other customers going through the same process.    
=================  End clip ==================
More information on how-to attend can be found @ this URL...:

Hopefully MAPICS will have some good ideas on how we can live within the
Sarbanes-Oxely regulations.  

Best Regards, 
Ed Kandel

Subject: PROGRAMMER ACCESS TO PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT

My boss asked me to pose this question on the MAPICS user group list.   We
are a small shop with 2 full-time programmers and 2 part-time contractors.
The full time programmers are responsible for setting up MAPICS security for
users.   Part of the audit comments during our Sarbanes-Oxley audit  was to
eliminate all programmers access to the production environment including
security (of course they have no suggestion on who would set up security).
We would like to know how other small shops handle this situation.  Do your
programmers have access to the production environment?  Who is responsible
for establishing MAPICS security on your system?

 

Thank you,

Candy Hein
