SAP GRC specialist Turnkey Consulting has launched what it says is the industry’s first cloud-based SAP GRC solution, as an outsourced managed service.
The aim of the solution is for customers to be able to implement an effective GRC strategy on an operational cost basis, and to provide flexibility in implementing governance processes to manage risk and control, and comply with internal and external compliance requirements.
The offering will initially feature the three core SAP GRC modules – Access Controls, Process Controls and Risk Management – with SAP’s Fraud and Audit Management on HANA to follow.
Turnkey Consulting managing director Richard Hunt says while they will continue to work with customers using the on-premise GRC offering, the cloud has raised the bar in terms of client expectations around technology.
“Organisations now expect access to software solutions and functionality with minimal implementation or maintenance effort. Our on-demand offering is a milestone in the availability of GRC solutions because it is the first time that customers can use this technology without purchasing it upfront and deploying a highly skilled team to run it,” said Hunt.
“The new offering also allows us to provide these solutions to non-SAP customers who may have been reluctant to deploy GC as their first SAP software due to support and maintenance overheads.
Turnkey currently has offices in the UK, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Malaysia, Singapore and the US, and will use these resources to provide its managed service offering on a global basis.
