What This Means for SAPinsiders
CCM is essential, and SAP companies must take notice. Continuous Control Monitoring (CCM) is essential for SAP companies because it enhances real-time oversight, compliance, and risk management within complex ERP environments. SAP systems handle vast amounts of sensitive financial, operational, and transactional data, making them targets for fraud, security breaches, and operational failures. CCM helps address these risks through automated, real-time monitoring of business processes and controls.
Manual processes are no longer sufficient. Manual monitoring of SAP systems is time-consuming and prone to human error. CCM automates control monitoring, reducing the need for manual reviews and improving the accuracy and efficiency of financial reporting and business processes. This frees up resources to focus on strategic initiatives.
You don’t have to go it alone. Few companies are fully equipped with the knowledge, resources, and skills needed to implement their own CCM programs today. This is why learning from experts like Pathlock’s Keri Bowman is essential. It can allow businesses to gain requisite knowledge and prepare for critical GRC projects.
