Case Study: Large Business Communication Solutions Providing Company achieves streamlined SOX compliance, reduced costs, and enterprise-wide risk visibility with MetricStream

Optimizing Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance For Better Business Performance

A global business-communications company with numerous subsidiaries, distributors, and a broad customer base faced mounting challenges in meeting SEC and SOX requirements. Its legacy risk and control architecture was fragmented—risk groups worked in silos, reporting and analytics were limited, issue tracking was manual and stored in separate Access databases, and supply-chain quality processes (SCAR) lacked integration—making compliance and change management costly and unsustainable.

After an exhaustive evaluation the company implemented MetricStream as an enterprise-wide SOX and risk platform in under nine weeks. The deployment centralized controls and documentation, standardized testing, automated issue management, and added SCAR/CAPA and executive dashboards for real-time visibility. The result was faster, lower-cost compliance with improved controls, collaboration, reporting, and transparency across the organization, while simplifying change management and operational testing.
