Supplementing Your Compliance Program
In this video, Ratchet-X is used to help supplement an organization’s compliance program. Ratchet-X watches the user interact with his applications and springs into action when a compliance rule, external to the application, is triggered. Ratchet-X can help your organization be more proactive in its compliance efforts by capturing hard to monitor, real time desktop transactions and correcting them before they become compliance issues.

A common Ratchet-X usage pattern is called the “JumpTo” pattern. Quite often, multiple applications house different pieces of information information that apply to the same subject (context). Since these applications cannot inherently communicate or work together, the user is forced to re-key data between applications to keep them in synch. The JumoTo pattern occurs when Ratchet-X is used to add a button to each application that when clicked, will perform whatever user interface automation is required to synch the applications to the desired context.
