The Focus control assurance software combined with Grant Thornton's CAT Scan methodology can be accessed using the Microsoft .NET framework. It also features attachment and hyperlink capabilities, ad hoc reporting through Paisley's SNAP! Reporter module, issue and action plan tracking, and role-based security.
