Scottish Elises

Afternoon.

Anyone else got the headache of your organisation spawning the introduction of multiple online tools for project management , development , billing , CRM , whatever etc .... and if so how to you manage it.

Organisation is growing , we have offices in multiple locations = more staff joining = more staff leaving = resulting in potential security holes.

Planning a full audit of all systems and who has access to what seems a good starting place.
Develop some sort of policy around adding access , removing access , introduction of new tools.
One person = 1 user would help.

Much of its is security 101 common sense. Want to get this right in the short term so its not a problem in the long as we grow.

Interested to know how other organisations cope with these issues.

Cheers
Scott

Try to balance the size of the systems audit you do by scoping it down to business functions. Taking on the whole thing from a blank sheet of paper is likely not to balance as far as time/accuracy and the business need and time frames you'll have. This has certainly worked for me and IME allows a more objective review within a smaller set of stakeholders and budget areas.

Thanks for the PM Ferg , you have reply.

Thanks for the reply Sanjoy. Talking 50 if not 100 different systems, some with APIs , some without. Would be impossible to automate.

Hey Sanjoy, you're getting slowly polluted by exposure to corp banking.
