Companies are living organisms. They are born, they develop their own character, and only when all the links mesh perfectly healthy growth is possible. Companies that have recognized this rely on cleanly structured SAP authorization concepts and clear role administration. This was also the case at GATX Rail Europe.
The company was looking for a specialist to develop cross-divisional concepts for general authorisation standards and SOX compliance as part of an SAP migration.
Identifying, resolving and effectively preventing functional separation conflicts, all of which were exciting challenges that we were happy to take on.
From the department to the team to the individual employee: Different responsibilities and authorizations exist in every company. If these are not clearly separated from one another, the company exposes itself to high risks.
Inefficient processes are the least of the problems. Theft of sensitive customer data or manipulation of company accounts are also possible consequences.
It is important that companies carry out regular SAP Authorisation reviews. GATX Rail Europe understood this and commissioned us to analyse and optimise the SAP authorization concept.
This enabled us not only to identify existing functional separation conflicts, but also to close gaps in the existing authorization concept.
This was made possible by our experts’ experience in adapting various SOX requirements to the customer’s individual needs.
The “Golden Rule Book” specially developed by Turnkey, which we can use to check the GATX systems for potential conflicts, was also an important success factor in finding a quick and, above all, sustainable solution.
