Installing and setting up the Pentana Audit platform
Sepia Solutions provides services to install and set up Ideagen Pentana Audit within your organisation’s IT environment.
The platform consists of several components, including IIS applications, client applications, web modules, and supporting Windows services. While installation itself is structured, it requires coordination with internal IT teams and careful preparation of the required infrastructure.
Sepia Solutions supports organisations in ensuring that all components are installed correctly and operate reliably within the organisation’s environment.
When organisations benefit from installation support
Organisations typically require installation and setup support when they:
- Introduce Pentana Audit for the first time
- Prepare new environments (such as test, UAT, or production)
- Upgrade or migrate existing environments
- Require assistance coordinating installation with internal IT teams
A structured installation process helps ensure that the platform is available, stable, and ready for configuration and use.
How Sepia Solutions can help
Sepia Solutions works closely with the organisation’s IT department to install and configure the required Pentana components.
Typical activities include:
- Installation of Pentana Audit components (IIS applications, client, web modules)
- Coordination of prerequisites such as SQL Server databases, user accounts, and email configuration
- Configuration of system settings, ports, and connectivity
- Support during setup across different environments
Based on practical experience across multiple client environments, Sepia Solutions has developed a structured installation approach, including a detailed runbook. This ensures that all required steps are addressed and that installations are carried out in a consistent and reliable manner.
A structured and controlled approach
For larger or more complex environments, installation is often performed in stages, typically moving from test to user acceptance testing (UAT) and finally to production.
Each stage allows for validation of the setup and early identification of potential issues, helping to ensure that the final production environment is stable and ready for use.
Installation and upgrades
In addition to initial setup, Sepia Solutions also supports organisations with upgrades of existing Pentana Audit environments.
While organisations can perform installations and upgrades internally, many rely on Sepia Solutions to ensure that updates are applied in a controlled and reliable manner, reducing the risk of issues and minimising disruption.
A foundation for further configuration
Installation and setup provide the technical foundation for using Pentana Audit. Once the platform is in place, organisations can proceed with configuration, training, and the introduction of audit processes within the system.
