Lyquidity announce the availability of ComplyXL Discovery and Continuous Monitoring.

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

Now organizations are able to monitor corporate spreadsheets automatically and continuously and to report instantly on changes based on criteria important to an organization such as: changes to key areas of a spreadsheet; to formulas; introduced errors or any of 40 other risk criteria. Users can subscribe to receive notifications by e-mail, IM or as a desktop popup.

As spreadsheets are always changing ComplyXL allows the finance, accounting and compliance teams - as well as managers who are responsible for the integrity of data in their spreadsheets - to have confidence they understand and are aware of spreadsheet activity. Active monitoring of changes will help ensure spreadsheet data and business rules comply with an organization's policies and governance rules.

Commented Bill Seddon, CEO "Organizations can't afford to let information 'feed' into critical business and reporting processes without being able to show who, what, where, when and why of what has changed in corporate spreadsheets. Once ComplyXL Discovery is set up you don't have to do anything - you choose how and when to be notified so you can get on with your job."

Help to easily track down combinations of numbers in spreadsheets with free add-in

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009

ComplyXL provides the key framework used by organizations for version and audit controls as well as continuous monitoring of critical spreadsheets with instant notification of changes. The Find Combinations utility gives the added ability to analyze the information within the spreadsheets and is available for free general download from the Lyquidity website, simply log in and download.

Said Steve Bruckner, lead software designer: "Imagine you are an auditor or cash accountant and need to reconcile, say, bank statement cash balances back to payment or receipt batches. In a huge spreadsheet finding a discrepancy between two numbers can be an overwhelming task but using Lyquidity's Find Combinations enables you to analyze ranges of numbers to find the total to a selected value, saving valuable time. Not surprisingly, it's been popular with the audit firms." A video which shows how the software is used can be viewed at http://www.lyquidity.com/findcombinations/

Key benefits of Find Combinations include the ability to:

• Enter or select a target value. Combinations of cell values will be computed and tested against this number for a match
• Specify or select a maximum group size of combinations to try
• See the addresses of the cells which total to the target value
• Select a range of values, with the ability to select multiple areas
• Find the combination of values in a specified cell range that total to a given value

The group size value allows you to control the maximum size of groups that will be tested. For example, although you are looking for combinations of numbers in a list of 100 values, you may know that the number of values to be added together never exceeds, say, 5. You can then specify 5 as the maximum group size and then no groups of 6 or higher will be tested.

This is important, especially in large lists, because the number of potential combinations can be vast. There are 627 combinations of 2, 3, 4 and 5 numbers in a list 10. There are 2,369,885 combinations of the same groups in a list of 50 numbers and 7,937,339 combinations in a list of 100. On a 1.8Mz laptop working through these 7+ million numbers takes about 5 minutes - or about 20,000 tests per second.

SEGRO (SGRO) is Europe's leading property investment and development company providing business space across Europe, and is one of the largest REITs in the world.  With headquarters in the UK, Segro has locations across Europe in Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain.  With assets of £5.1 billion and 5 million sqm of business space, and an annual rental income of approximately £314 million SEGRO needed to find a way to manage and streamline the information and reporting of both financial and property information held in spreadsheets.

ISSUES

SEGRO was about to launch a new MRI finance group applicaiton so it was vital all data feeding in was controlled with changes approved and with a full audit trail of changes.  This information was both financial and property, and included such information as area, how much was let, how much was vacant etc.  With the information being checked manually the time taken was significant and had the potential for errors.

As the spreadsheets were being updated on a daily basis, with no real way to check the spreadsheets or control and changes except manually, it became imperative that spreadsheet controls were put in place in a non intrusive way that could be rolled out easily throughout Europe with minimal disruption.

Rob Healey, Service Delivery Manager for Europe was tasked with finding a solution that would link into the new initiative to analyze the information, both the financial and perperty details, held in spreadsheets across Europe, to be able to report on the changes all the way to cell level and then to send notifications to the owners of the spreadsheets that the document had changed, all in a fast and verifiable way.

The project was initiated in France with 45 users spread across 9 different countries in Europe.  These users included the Finance Accountants, Property Managers and Country Managers with the information feeding into the central store, the changed spreadsheets saved, with their full verison history then analyzed every day.

BENEFITS OF COMPLYXL

"Once ComplyXL was installed, it saved us enormous amounts of time in the analysis of spreadsheet changes.  With the property information when it changes it causes a ripple effect, now with the changes being easy to track down and easy to see and approve, we have confidence in the information.  For instance in Germany we have 110 properties, so any changes to information in our spreadsheets, we can now easily filter and understand, we know and trust the quality of information" said Rob Healey.

He goes on to say "the support from Lyquidity has been tremendous, from the initial contact with the demonstration of ComplyXL, all the way through to loading license files, they have helped us at very short notice,  It's alway nice to get good service from a software vendor, as some just sell you the produce and you have to struggle to get the right resource to help.  Lyquidity have been tremendous and I would recommend them".
