Opportunities vs. Risks

ERP Go-Live

Source: The Conference Board Survey

interviewed executives at 117 companies that

attempted ERP implementations:

Opportunities vs. Risks

ERP Go-Live

Source: APICS The Association for Operations

Management, 2011

The ERP application was implemented successfully. Unfortunately, desired benefits are

not being realized!

Inventory and expenses are increasing while customer service and productivity are

dropping due to new bottlenecks.

Too many “work-arounds”. Users not fully trained and working outside the system.

Auditors Findings on Segregation-of-Duties and Application Controls require a remediation

plan. We don’t have the resources for it.

Need to build custom BI dashboard and reports to alert management of master data

changes and transactions outside the tolerance levels.

Top management wants to see the ROI promised to the board.

ERP collects, manages

and distributes

information across

functional boundaries and

helps break down

information “silos”—

those barriers that stand

in the way of full

cooperation between

production, materials,

planning, engineering,

finance and

sales/marketing.

The resulting higher

quality, reduced time-to-

market, shortened lead

times, higher productivity

and lowered costs can

help improve customer

service and increase

sales and market share

as well as margins.

ERP Roles Manager

Overview

Eliminate Root Cause of Access Control Violations in ERP:

Improve Segregation of Duty controls within mission critical

applications

Reduce ERP implementation and upgrade costs with pre-configured

roles

Lower ERP Total Cost of Ownership by assigning pre-approved

Roles

We enable ERP Administrators:

Select pre-configured ERP roles from a roles catalog

Update, Review and Approve Role design changes.

Identify SOD conflicts before the Roles are assigned to Users.

ERP Roles Manager Features

Role Manager is an ERP security design tool

Contains a pre-configured catalog of roles which comply with

segregation of duty (SOD) policies.

Roles by ERP module and typical access requirements for those

modules such as Manager, Supervisor, Clerk, Inquiry, Business

Setup and IT Setup.

You can use this tool to view existing role templates and design new

roles by easily selecting or deselecting ERP functions/transaction.

Once you complete the roles design, you can send it, using

workflows, to pre-assigned reviewers and approvers to finalize the

roles.

The role preparers, reviewers and approvers can also assess the

SOD control risks before finalizing the roles.

Leverage FW DataProbe/Scripts to load current Roles
