Enhanced Item Search – Are your users frustrated searching for Items? Pretty sure you hear complaints about CASE SeNsiTiviTY, abbrvatng wrds due to 30-charctr spc lmts, inability to use multip* wildcar* in the same search field, etc.

Auditing your ERP – a Risk Assessment in less than an hour, a Security Build in less than a day. What can possibly go wrong?
There are two elements to this problem, firstly understanding the risks on your system, who can access sensitive data, who can commit potential frauds. And secondly fully itemizing the rewards of integrating good controls around the system. Sustainable solutions that satisfy the auditors, but also make good business sense. Build true savings that will commit the CFO in a business case that ties in all the stakeholders, involving the business in owning their ERP system.
The starting point is an audit, an assessment of where you are now, so that together with a skilled consultant you can plan your path to Best Practice. An audit of your system will also satisfy the auditors, and will enable you to plan how to remediate your risks. Up until now, to audit the security of your ERP you needed to spend a lot of money with an audit firm, or a lot of time with technicians writing SQL Now you can get answers overnight, with 30 minutes technical effort.
This session will give you the answers to how you remediate such a complex security environment, and enable you to plan security and controls around your most valuable asset.
