After Graham Packaging became a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Comission, the company purchased one of the first-generation GRC tools available at the time to help with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) compliance. Although it initially saved Graham Packaging time and money, it was so difficult to install and use that even after several years company officials were only able to take advantage of one-quarter of its functionality.

After making the move to ControlPanelGRC the team at Graham Packaging began to see quantifiable results almost immediately. Although they originally wanted ControlPanelGRC to replace the old tool for SOX compliance and segregation of duties, Graham Packaging has been able to take advantage of automation features that have reduced some repetitive tasks by 50 percent. Jeff Rishel, Vice President of IT at Graham Packaging even estimates that with ControlPanelGRC they will be able to cut an entire week's worth of work out of the preparation process for their annual audit.
