Ofni Systems releases ExcelSafe Version 2.1, which provides Part 11 Compliance for Microsoft Excel

Raleigh North Carolina – Tuesday, September 8, 2009 – Ofni Systems announces ExcelSafe, version 2.1, which provides MS Excel with password protection, user level security, audit trails and electronic signatures. "ExcelSafe is an excellent tool for regulated industry. It provides the technological tools to make MS Excel compliant with 21 CFR Part 11," said Ofni Systems President Tyson Mew. "ExcelSafe is spreadsheet security made simple."

ExcelSafe provides users of Microsoft Excel with

• User Security – Entry into spreadsheets requires a user name and password. ExcelSafe has configurable user-level security which can restrict which users can open or spreadsheets and apply or remove electronic signatures.
• Data Security – All changes to Excel are automatically recorded. The audit trail records the previous and new value of a cell, the date/time of a change, the user making the change and the reason data was changed. The audit trail also records other spreadsheet events, including addition or deletion of a worksheet. Electronic signatures prevent changes within a worksheet. Even deleted records are preserved on an unalterable audit trail.
• Traceability – ExcelSafe comes with tools to track all changes to spreadsheets. Users can query results from any spreadsheet.
• Simplicity - ExcelSafe works automatically with existing spreadsheets and templates. Once a spreadsheet is opened in ExcelSafe, all compliance tools work automatically. Users operate Excel normally; there is no complicated interface to learn. ExcelSafe supports any number of users and any number of spreadsheets.

Version 2.1 includes additional tools for users to classify spreadsheets, improved compatibility with Excel 2007 file formats and for system administrators to facilitate the use of ExcelSafe across networks. ExcelSafe can be configured to use either an Oracle or a SQL Server for data storage.
