Case Study: Heinz Watties Australia achieves SOX-compliant, cost-effective database auditing and automated reporting with Precisely’s Assure Monitoring and Reporting

Heinz Watties Australia - Customer Case Study

Heinz Watties Australia, a subsidiary of H.J. Heinz Company with about 1,200 employees, needed to meet SOX and other regulatory audit requirements for BPCS and other mission‑critical files across five LPARs. Infrastructure Production Manager Sam Bonanno selected Precisely’s Assure Monitoring and Reporting to capture IBM i journal changes, provide automated and ad‑hoc reporting, real‑time alerts, and retain audit trails for compliance.

Precisely implemented Assure Monitoring and Reporting first in a test environment and then across all 5 LPARs, delivering a solution that Bonanno says met and exceeded requirements, was simple to install with local and international support, and was completed within the scheduled timeframe. The deployment proved cost‑effective, provided exportable reports and real‑time notifications, supported scalable audit models, and had virtually no measurable impact on System i performance.
