Interphase Systems Launches Updated Spreadsheet Audit Tool to Enhance Compliance

XLAuditTrail adds Security & Change Tracking to your Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets

PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Interphase Systems, Inc., a premier management and technology services company, announced today the release of XLAuditTrail 1.1, the best way to provide security and an automated audit of data inside Microsoft Spreadsheets. XLAuditTrail is a specialized technology that integrates with Microsoft Excel to provide a detailed audit trail of all data changes.

“Regulatory guidelines and quality practices demand higher standards for Security and Auditability for data stored in Excel files. Lab calculations, inventory, Clinical data, training records and many other regulatory records are often stored in spreadsheets”

XLAuditTrail allows clients in any industry to instantly track data changes, whether deliberate or accidental. The program automatically creates a change log, providing details of each change, including the previous value, new value, date and time of the change, the team member who made the change, and a reason for the change.

“Without XLAuditTrail, many of our clients have been surprised to find that they had no way to effectively track changes to their important spreadsheets and ensure data purity,” said John Biglin, CEO of Interphase Systems. “XLAuditTrail ensures that a firm’s most critical MS-Excel files have the controls and audit trail in place to pass audits and other evaluations of the firm’s data. If someone changes an interest rate, you’ll know everything about the change.”

“Regulatory guidelines and quality practices demand higher standards for Security and Auditability for data stored in Excel files. Lab calculations, inventory, Clinical data, training records and many other regulatory records are often stored in spreadsheets,” said Ray Bouknight, Director, Validation & Compliance with Interphase Systems. “XLAuditTrail was specifically designed to allow Excel Spreadsheets to meet 21–CFR-Part 11 and other regulatory standards.”

“Continuous improvement is in our culture, especially with regard to regulated data,” said Doug Errett, Project Manager, Ops Validation Services of McNeil Consumer Pharmaceuticals, a Johnson & Johnson Company. “Interphase Systems’ XLAuditTrail technology enables us to utilize our Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, without forcing users to learn another tool or store the data in a different format or location. We implemented XLAuditTrail as another measure of governance in our overall data quality framework. Interphase Systems’ Application Development team incorporated changes to further enhance our application. In addition, their expert Validation team streamlined the Validation process, allowing for a smooth deployment.”
