Are you in spreadsheet Hell?
If so, you will be aware of the innate inefficiencies and potential security dangers. With WFH culture here to stay, we are seeing an emergence of new ERP upgrades to ensure companies secure their data and provide staff with the data they need remotely and in a format that brings insight, not just data. Cloud-enabled solutions, even for small to medium sized businesses, are on the increase as there are no longer the skilled staff in the office to run the servers and on-premises solutions.
In many instances, companies are adopting a hybrid model of both cloud and on-premise and this is when increased security is also paramount.
This blurring of the perimeter, from cloud to on-premise and hybrid, creates challenges and compromised identities is one of the major causes of data breaches. However, on the flipside, users become fatigued with password reset regimes and this can influence productivity.
There are identity and access management solutions available that provide solutions around Cloud single-sign-on, optimised security, centralised management, and compliance. And these tools are accessible for small to mid-sized business as well as enterprise but there is a need for professionals to bridge the skills gap between ERP and cybersecurity.
Your chosen supplier needs to be able to cover both bases.
