Related Focus Groups
Audit
Connect with fellow SAP users to gain insights into SAP audit, which involves systematically reviewing an organisation's SAP environment. The focus is on ensuring the efficiency of the enterprise software suite offered by SAP, especially its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Cyber Security
Learn about the role of cybersecurity solutions in providing continuous monitoring of risks, identities, cyberthreats and compliance across your organisation's mission-critical systems and processes. Understand how other members utilise cybersecurity to enhance their security posture and safeguard their digital assets.
Governance, Risk & Compliance
Explore how different organisations structurally align their business strategy with information technology to effectively manage risk and meet compliance requirements. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) play a pivotal role in shaping how an organisation operates, focusing on its operational procedures rather than its activities.
Identity Management & Governance
Identity Governance focuses on the broader perspective, ensuring that access controls are aligned with business objectives. It revolves around strategy, compliance and risk management. On the other hand, Identity Management takes a more operational approach, handling the technical aspects of access provisioning and user authentication.
Licencing Audit
Ensure your organisation is well-prepared and organised for a licencing audit. An SAP licence audit is a compliance check aimed at verifying that customers are using SAP software in accordance with the terms and conditions of their licencing agreement. These audits are typically scheduled regularly, often conducted annually, to assess and verify the usage of SAP licences. Being organised and ready for such audits can help ensure compliance and avoid potential penalties or issues.
Single Sign-On
Explore how other organisations leverage the SAP Single Sign-On application to streamline user authentication processes. This application allows users to log in once and securely access all required software throughout the day without the need to repeatedly log in.
