OpenText Internal Controls
A closed-loop document management, collaboration, certification, and records management application for achieving compliance with the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act and other similar regulations
A reactionary approach to compliance with Sarbanes Oxley and similar regulations is typically characterized by a flood of spreadsheets and documents—and high costs, expenses that typically need to be repeated every year. Moving to a sustainable, long-term solution requires an enterprise level, collaborative, and coordinated system for managing all of this content. OpenText Internal Controls builds on the proven OpenText Content Server foundation, which enables organizations to define, secure, control, and automate the process of creating, storing, and retaining electronic information.

OpenText Internal Controls helps companies track and store the necessary evidence to show that their policies, procedures, and processes are being followed and that real business risks are truly being mitigated by the company’s defined internal controls. OpenText Internal Controls helps companies specifically comply with sections 404 and 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and similar regulation around the world.
