Loading data into and extracting data from the SAP Business Suite is a critical activity that requires the proper controls, security and workflows. In order to be adequately protected, it
is best to use existing security profiles and controls. Additionally, Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) best practices require complete traceability of these activities.
eSHUTTLE delivers controls, security and traceability to enable enterprises to deploy Winshuttle'ss data solutions, such as transactionSHUTTLE, querySHUTTLE, and runSHUTTLE across the
organization. In addition to using the standard SAP controls, security profiles and audit trails, eSHUTTLE provides controls and auditing for the interaction of Winshuttle'ss products
with the SAP Business Suite. eSHUTTLE provides this functionality using the Microsoft SharePoint WSS framework, providing native integration to Microsoft technologies including Active
Directory, Excel, and Access. eSHUTTLE provides the ideal integration and control point between the Winshuttle, SAP and Microsoft products.
Data is a critical asset and is considered as valuable a resource as employees and products, said Erin Stone, SAP FI/CO Senior Analyst at B. Braun Medical Inc. eSHUTTLE will enable
companies to properly implement an enterprise data management effort.
