Global businesses face the following challenges:Companies have to comply with multiple regulations such as export control for controlled substances, Critical Info Protection Mandates or employee/vendor PII information.They also need to protect customer IP and sensitive information, such as PCI information They have to ensure data security in a global IT infrastructure. In particular, how do they control access to data that is now globally available? How do they manage what data privileged users, such as IT administrators and help desk, can see?They have to protect their IP such as parts specs, process information, as they collaborate with their multi-level supply chain. They have to protect corporate IP such as design specs, E&P data, ingredients list, process information as they collaborate with partners, JVs, and field service partners in global product developmentTo be compliant, global companies often resort to costly manual checks in the business process, which slows down operations. Take for example:1. Manual Regulatory Compliance eg Export ComplianceEngr who produce a doc needs to get it classifiedRequest for doc by foreign employees or partners need to get approval from Compliance OfficerCompliance officer need to check export licenseCompliance officer need to validate contentUpon approval, you to set up access to document All these could take weeks before the document could be share2. IP Protection example Suppose you have a JV with China You need to decide which products, docs can be shared. It could be based on product line, location of access etc You need to set up roles to decide who can access. Your JVs’ contractors, suppliers may also need access You need to create custom ABAP code to regulate access You need to create audit trail for compliance reporting All this will take months to set up, let alone maintain
