Ingenuus Partners with Sarbanes Oxley Specialist RAI Consulting

FRISCO, TX, - July 25, 2005 - Ingenuus Software Inc., the leader in Process Orchestration, announced today that they have entered into a partnership with RAI Consulting of Richardson, Texas to provide Evaluation and Remediation services for companies seeking Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Although the agreement provides for joint marketing activities, RAI Consulting will not be reselling any Ingenuus software in order to maintain objectivity. The partnership allows RAI Consulting to inform customers of the Ingenuus capabilities as a potential solution to their remediation activity.

"We encounter business process automation software virtually every day," says RAI Consulting Principal, Thomas McCullough. "They are very complex. It is difficult to build an application. They do not provide the Process Owner [in this case the Compliance Officer] with the ability to model the process, modify the user interface, create business rules and then release the solution into production. Ingenuus can - we see this as cutting edge and feel compelled to let our customers know about it."

Typically, a SOX process requires 2 or more technical analysts or IT people to automate processes. First, the process is modeled by a trained analyst, with inputs, outputs and tasks specified. Documentation to explain each step is included. This is sometimes done with tools that follow process automation standards such as BPEL. After the process is modeled, then business rules are created. This might be done by the same analyst, or another one more familiar with database business rules. An IT analyst then creates the user interface and links it with the process model. If integration is required, it is done at this time.

"Ingenuus has simplified the process automation effort by combining a modeling tool with the graphical user interface tool and then made these tools so easy that a process owner can be trained to model, edit user interfaces, create business rules, and then release a process into production - all without the need for an process or IT analyst," says Ingenuus CTO Vivek Prasad. "For the first time, process owners can create and manage their own processes without needing help from IT."
