Vital Statistics

Using Vital Statistics, your organization will be able to access information necessary to comply with regulations such as HIPAA and Sarbanes-Oxley. Vital Statics provides the quantifiable information needed to make informed decisions about how to administer and manage your organization's reports. It logs all REVEAL system usage and provides detailed information about who uses which documents, how often, and in what way. This comprehensive audit trail helps an organization manage document security, monitor and administer licensed seats, and exmaine computer network resource use.

Vital Statistic summary charts present a high-level overview of system and report usage, while detail data can be examined to drill down to specific user statistics. Report access frequency data will help determine a document's online retention requirements and identify when it should be archived to offline or near-line storage.

Vital Statistics tracks a document's duration. The validation of the preservation or destruction of an organization's digital documents is becoming increasingly important with the proliferation of regulatory compliance. Adherence to these standards can be documented using Vital Statistics.

REVEAL administrators can automate the production of Vital Statistic information for pre-determined time frames and have an email announcement delivered informing them of the availability of newly created log file(s). Administrators can also create ad hoc Vital Statistic reports where they define its parameters to acquire the exact audit information needed. For security control, Vital Statistic logs are saved on the Reveal server, and only specified users can access the Vital Statistics report. Creating, acquiring, and storing Vital Statistics can be automated and yet conducted manually for obtaining critical information at any time for report management.
