Martin Marietta Materials, US-based leading building materials supplier, is a long-term user of JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. To support their growth and changing needs, as part of a larger, company-wide transformation initiative, Martin Marietta decided to consolidate security configurations from two distinct separate instances of JD Edwards into a single shared instance while maintaining two separate Security Workbench tables (one for production and one for all non-production environments) within the shared instance. This initiative gave them the opportunity to evaluate and update their security model.

Reliable security is a critical factor in any large ERP implementation project, but specific priorities change over time:

• At the outset, it’s crucial to have powerful tools to create a robust a security model, with efficient role design as well as a reliable means of identifying and fixing Segregation of Duties (SOD) conflicts.

• Once the consolidated system was live, the focus increasingly moved towards ongoing management of efficient role design and monitoring of SOD to streamline fraud detection and prevention.

Objective 1: Find out how Martin Marietta went about consolidating their roles, resulting in security that is much more effective and easier to manage.

Objective 2: Discuss how Martin Marietta maintained integrity to support multiple security workbench tables simultaneously.

Objective 3: Discuss the challenges and considerations of implementing and sustaining efficient access and SoD controls in JD Edwards

In conclusion, the merger and consolidation of two JDE instances into one provided a more streamlined, scalable secured ERP system to the customer. Learn how not only a consolidated system is more efficient, but also how it has provided the opportunity for clean security data to be merged; eliminating ‘junk data’ and making the security audit easier.
