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.
