Security & Controls Services for SAP Implementations

SAP Security can be a problematic world in and of itself. Often overlooked in the initial implementation and without adequate knowledge transfer, many SAP installations have struggled without a sound SAP security architecture. Successive “rush” changes make SAP Role maintenance increasingly difficult. With Sarbanes/Oxley legislation and increasing audit concerns, many SAP customers can no longer ignore the risk of inadequate SAP security.
