How will you design an efficient and sustainable SAP® BI security model?

+44(0)20 7400 6120 bi@xoomworks.com

How does your organisation fulfil its duty of care towards data security?

Safeguarding data is of paramount importance to any organisation.

Your security model must ensure protection of confidential data,

legislative compliance and provide a platform for ease of maintenance

and expansion. Inefficient security models can lead to costly overheads

and potentially compromise security. An entirely different set of

challenges arise when migrating from previous BusinessObjects™

releases to SAP® BI4.

Your security model is at the heart of your SAP® BI deployment

The SAP® BusinessObjects™ security model protects your data assets

and plays a vital role in the administration of the entire platform.

Xoomworks consultants have significant experience in designing

scalable, robust security models that are easy to maintain. We follow

best practice in defining business roles and functions, thereby

minimising complexity. We can also enable varying degrees of

delegated administration to empower your business units and reduce

the dependency on IT.

Migrations to BI4.

We are ideally positioned to migrate your legacy BusinessObjects™

security to BI4, having pioneered the migration of one of the largest

SAP® BusinessObjects™ global enterprise platforms. Our comprehensive

security gap analysis methodology will significantly accelerate your

migration process.

When did you last review your SAP® BI security?

• Robust authentication, authorisation and access control

• Rapidly plan and implement required security model changes

• Reduce time and resources required to support and maintain your security model

• Ensure and demonstrate legislative and corporate compliance

• Ensure your security model is scalable to meet changing requirements

“I’d certainly recommend them. Particularly for getting things set up and configured correctly in the first place.”

Xoomworks can safeguard your BI data security while giving you the flexibility to evolve
