Case Study: Arrow Electronics achieves rapid SOX compliance and improved audit reporting with Fastpath

Arrow S3 Improves Reporting and Conflict Identification with Fastpath

Arrow S3, a recently acquired subsidiary of Arrow Electronics, needed to become Sarbanes‑Oxley (SOX) compliant quickly but lacked the staff and reporting tools to satisfy Arrow Electronics’ internal audit team. After recommendations from other Microsoft Dynamics AX users, they selected Fastpath and deployed Fastpath Assure, Audit Trail and Audit View to provide detailed audit reporting on user and role permissions and to identify potential conflicts.

Fastpath integrated directly with Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009 and was implemented from demo to full rollout in about two months; Arrow S3 staff were trained in roughly 30 minutes and began running scheduled reports automatically. The Fastpath solution delivered immediate ROI, eliminated the need to add SOX headcount, reduced security review effort from daily to quarterly, and improved visibility and mitigation of segregation‑of‑duties conflicts.
