SAP Business Network Deployed through SAP NS2

• Increased Data Sharing: As businesses grow and evolve, more data is being collected now than ever before. The biggest risk in this growth of data is the global exposure of large data workloads. Transmission of data around the world creates risk of global data compliance differences, as data regulations vary across each country. Our customers need to analyze data without concerns of international threats and protect their data to the highest standards.
• Transparency into Management and Operations: Many cloud solutions have a lack of transparency regarding who is managing a customer’s cloud deployments. For commercial deployments with global support models, customers do not have visibility into the resources who are managing their systems. Utilizing local resources reduces risks of international data leakage and vulnerabilities.

• Compliance Standards Impacting Global Supplier Networks: Many customers support a global procurement network. However, managing a global supplier network means the customer transacts with organizations who may not be held to the same compliance standards. Organizations need a cloud solution that can help ensure their supply chain partners and transactions are held to their standards.

Our customers purchase and manufacture items related to national security. Supply chain dependent organizations need to protect their procurement assets because this is the centerpiece of their success.
