News Facts
USANA Health Sciences, a developer and manufacturer of high-quality nutritionals, personal care, energy and weight management products, has implemented (GRC), part of the Oracle Fusion Applications suite.
USANA Health Sciences needed a modern, standards-based GRC platform that could replace manually intensive controls, optimize key business processes, and support the execution of a major ERP upgrade.
To help mitigate risks and support regulatory compliance, USANA used to monitor segregation of duties, resulting in a 25 percent reduction in the number of hours required by its internal audit team and a 40 percent decrease in paper trails and paperwork.
In addition to Oracle Fusion GRC and the Oracle E-Business Suite 12.1, USANA also uses Oracle's Agile PLM and Oracle's Demantra to streamline its business processes.
