Public entities rely on Aestiva Paperless One products to satisfy their regulatory requirements. Aestiva deployments are routinely subject to audits, regulation consultant oversight, and review. Aestiva products repeatedly receive squeaky-clean audits -- a result of Aestiva's common-sense approach to auditability, security and visibility. Compliance by Default Aestiva products based on Aestiva's Paperless One technology are well-suited to the wide variety of regulations found in today's business environment. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) requires improved accuracy and reliability in corporate disclosures. Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) compliance requires detailed labor and cost center tracking, the separation of direct from indirect costs, and proper tracking of contract costs. International Organization of Standardization (ISO) compliance standards dictate quality and repeatability requirements. HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) provides rules on how to store (health-related) documents and keep them private. Compliance regulations revolve around clarity, repeatability, quality assurance, privacy and security, and assured accountability. While some view compliance as a headache, Aestiva views compliance as an opportunity - building it directly into its Paperless One platform so maximum Compliance by Default is achieved. Regulatory compliance, when applied correctly, often improves business processes and increases productivity and internal accountability. In short, regulatory compliance makes for great software. Such benefits mesh well with the goals of Aestiva and its customers. Aestiva Time Sheets All versions of Aestiva Time Sheets are built on Aestiva Paperless One, giving it out-of-the-box regulatory compliance. Time Sheets can be used to track amortized capitalized expenditures, project completions, direct and indirect time -- and tie such data to contracts. These are fundamental DCAA requirements. Aestiva Time Sheets systems retain historical data, provide easy-to-view audit trails at the bottom of each time sheet, auditor reports, and a special auditor's login. Auditability is automatic. Changes made to time sheets are accompanied with records of who made each series of changes, and when. Aestiva's well-defined approval processes deliver auditable and well-defined business processes. Its ability to measure direct and indirect time and properly track contract costs provides assured accountability. Aestiva Time Sheet's security architecture includes user-profiles that make security highly manageable, visible, and reportable. Special password-security protection is provided for companies who do not maintain their own password-security infrastructure. Aestiva's underlying technology, Aestiva HTML/OS, is a highly secure programming environment featuring one of the world's only Security by Default programming architectures. Aestiva's high regard for security has secondary benefits. For example: Microsoft's history of security failures has pushed companies who use programming languages such as ASP and ASP.NET to mitigate their security risks via in-depth and ongoing security reviews. The precautions are costly to supplier and customer alike -- representing huge hidden costs. Aestiva programmers do not use ASP or ASP.NET. Instead, we use HTML/OS which has a Security by Default architecture which means the programmers do not need to be security experts to do their jobs effectively. The result is better security without ongoing security reviews. The cost saving gives Aestiva the ability to sell products at lower cost and, at the same time, deliver faster customer deployments. Exceeding regulations. Aestiva's dedication to security and sensible design has resulted in time sheet designs that exceed regulatory compliance standards. For example, all parties to a time sheet can see who is working on the time sheet. All parties can see the audit trail. All parties know where a time sheet is in its approval process, when it was submitted, how long it took to be approved, and so on. Aestiva's dedication to "visibility" exceeds regulatory requirements. Compliance is also about the quality and accuracy of information. Aestiva Time Sheets includes a reporting system that includes features that go beyond the need to provide certain "auditor's reports." The product includes a report builder that includes the ability to turn on an "auditor's mode" so you can build reports that inspect any data on time sheets overwritten by repeated edits and/or deletions. Here too, Aestiva Time Sheets exceeds regulatory compliance. As another example, consider Aestiva's "Proxy Login" feature. The feature allows the assignment of backup people who can perform actions on behalf of others without any need to give out one's password (a definite regulatory faux pas). Systems lacking such features push users to give out their passwords as a way to bypass problems associated with managers or other users being unexpectedly out of the office, on vacation, or unavailable. Have questions? Aestiva software is backed up with a company culture that embraces regulatory compliance. Have questions about how Aestiva handles specific requirements? Feel free to call Aestiva.
