Title

Implementation challenges

Tight timescales– Wanted go-live before next year-end

All new technology

No Oracle expertise

Complex requirements & structure– HO, Depots, relationship of depots to customers

Title

Why security was important

Very complex depot relationships– 1:1, 1:Many, Many:1 relationships– Segregation of duties– Time / effort / costs to resolve– Audit

Had to perform substantive audits– Compliance audits not possible– Time-consuming (costly)
