The SOX Compliance Management App will equip Trimble Navigation with a comprehensive system to strengthen internal controls, as well as ensure compliance with all SOX compliance requirements.

"The MetricStream Compliance Management App helps streamline and standardize compliance and control processes, provides greater visibility across the organization, and enables us to identify and address key areas of concern," said Mark Adams, Director Internal Audit at Trimble Navigation. "Compliance with existing and evolving regulatory requirements requires that we have a well-defined governance model and efficient control mechanism in place. We selected MetricStream Apps to support our compliance management program because they offer an automated and integrated approach that will not just enhance collaboration between various teams, but will also provide visibility into our compliance initiatives world-wide."  

The MetricStream SOX Compliance Management App helps organizations achieve consistent and effective internal control processes across the enterprise, thereby eliminating deviations, errors, and redundancies.

The MetricStream Conflict Minerals Management App helps organizations strengthen the efficiency of their conflict minerals programs by simplifying end-to-end processes. The App provides a robust and structured approach to conflict minerals reporting requirements, from conducting reasonable country of origin surveys, triggering supplier notifications, ensuring due diligence, determining status by collating and validating responses with real-time program tracking, and reporting.

The Apps, when used together and collaboratively across different teams in the organization, provide greater risk and compliance awareness and visibility across management and key stakeholders.
