The Solution





Access Database Manager
Overview
     The ClusterSeven Access Database Manager watches your Microsoft Access Databases so that you can rely on their continuing integrity for your business decisions and reporting.
     We watch your Access databases using the same proven technology that we apply to operational spreadsheets.
     Out-of-the-box you get automated monitoring of critical changes to the database. This audit trail is held centrally and securely within your firewall.

ClusterSeven Watchers


Think of our solution as a set of CCTV (closed circuit television) cameras.
We record your spreadsheet and Access databases activity over time, building the 'movie' version of your spreadsheet content and looking out for anything unusual – good or bad.
If spreadsheet and Access database operations are proceeding normally then we stay in the background. If something abnormal happens – or if something that should happen, doesn’t – we tell you. Click here for illustration

 Benefits  

      Audit Point Closure

 
  • Closure of compliance or audit points is an essential feature of any control solution for MS Access® Database. With ClusterSeven you get a proven solution that does just that. ClusterSeven provides these baseline requirements by ensuring Segregation of Duties with a Tamper-Proof Version and Change Control audit trail of key changes. These benefits are available as soon as the software is switched on. If you need control today, not tomorrow, then this capability will be high on your priority list.
          Complementary Protection
 

  • Access Database control issues are different to spreadsheets. It is only by close conversations with our clients and their auditors that we have determined the best approach for providing controls that complement the approaches already available within your IT department. But, while the controls may be different, we re-use many of our own proven components, ensuring that you get a reliable, compatible solution to give you all round protection for all your user-developed applications.

          No-Resistance Operation
 

  • ClusterSeven is designed to minimize user-resistance to achieving control. Only ClusterSeven truly understands how to deliver this. Our approach to managing MS Access Databases utilizes the same non-invasive technology that has proven so successful in managing spreadsheets. Users can be confident that the performance and functionality of their applications will not be compromised. ClusterSeven lets you use your MS Access Databases with confidence – it’s as simple as that.Businesses get the best of both worlds.

          Extensibility
 

  • Whether you start with controlling spreadsheets and move to controlling MS Access later – or do it the other way round – you can rest assured that you will only need one architecture to address both of your requirements. If you are from IT we are pleased to say that the more you engage with our solution, the more you will appreciate how it is designed to fit your environment and the changes you will need, not stand as another isolated ‘point solution’ destined for early obsolescence.

          Click To Compare
 

  • No more need to do manual ‘spot-the-difference’ between copies of your code. Your audit trail is more than just a static reference set of key changes. ClusterSeven provides the ability to make rapid ad-hoc comparisons between any two prior file versions for the same key database attributes. That way you save time and can get on with analyzing the changes rather than looking for them.

          ClusterSeven Club
 

  • The best businesses want to follow best practice. ClusterSeven clients share experiences and contribute to product direction. You won’t be surprised to hear that the ClusterSeven Club already includes some of the largest businesses in the world as well as some of the most entrepreneurial. Our solution to Access Database control came from working with our clients and we will be happy to share that reasoning with you.
