| Enterprise Security |
It has become extremely difficult to understand how to securely configure an ERP system and the myriad of products purchased to integrate with it products like report generators, data warehouses, learning management systems, imaging systems, portals, and others. The overhead of managing access and authorization roles for both the ERP and third-party software integrated with the ERP is huge. Institutions said they had backed off from using role-based security because the overhead of managing it was just too high.
Given the concerns of security professionals and the growing number of policies requiring certification before an ERP system can be purchased, we follow a checklist based on the ERP best practices, that could pass a stringent ERP security review for both the product-evaluation and system-configuration phases of implementing an ERP.
|
| |
| Some of the factors we consider while designing the Enterprise Security for any ERP Program are as follows; |
| » |
Complexity in configuring and managing ERP systems, which was made more challenging by a lack of sufficient information from vendors |
| » |
Weak passwords and relative insecurity of reporting tools |
| » |
Degradation of performance when using higher-security settings and procedures, such as enabling encryption and audit trails |
| » |
Bundling of proprietary identity management (IdM) systems in an ERP system, rather than offering ERPs that use open standards and can interoperate with any enterprise IdM system the institution chooses |

Successful ERP implementation projects are less about technology and more about people and processes. As part of an effective ERP Implementation, ADS helps clients develop, actualize and sustain long-term organizational changes to best realize the measurable business improvements enabled by their new technology.
With a determined focus on tangible bottom-line results, key performance indicators and investment returns, ADS utilize best practices and methodology to optimize ERP technology for better business operations. We ensure clients realize gains by addressing the “human factor” – an oftentimes overlooked but critical element of any successful technology initiative.
