“,” also written by , describes how small and mid-size businesses (SMBs) that are taking advantage of the compelling benefits of the transformations in IT infrastructure should also be re-thinking how they deal with the associated vulnerabilities, threats and risks. Like all organizations, SMBs should move beyond traditional signature-based approaches (i.e., anti-virus and firewalls) and adopt a more comprehensive, defense-in-depth approach to protecting their endpoints, servers, networks, applications and data. Specifically, email security, web security and secure file sharing should be considered foundational security capabilities for every small and mid-sized business, in addition to anti-virus and firewalls.

“,” prepared by , Research Analyst in the Aberdeen research practice, states that as the operational and transactional backbone of a business, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) contains all of the data that is needed for decision-makers to run their business. But those at the top of the organization are not the only employees with data needs. In fact, it is those on the front lines that are most likely to be actively utilizing ERP on a daily basis. The line of business is not only inputting data into ERP, but actively using it to perform tasks and service customers. As such, these employees know best how day-to-day operations are impacted by an ERP solution. Still, some organizations are only making ERP a top-down initiative. This is a mistake; ERP is most successful when it becomes a pervasive part of the organization. Leading organizations are actively involving the line of business throughout the lifecycle of their ERP solution. Additionally, they are more likely to hold the line of business accountable for their ultimate success. This Analyst Insight, based on data from two Aberdeen surveys, illustrates how organizations are involving the line of business in all ERP decisions as well as the capabilities and benefits that are received as a result.
