      Security audit finds developer outsourced his own JOB to China

      A security audit of a US critical infrastructure company last year revealed that its star developer had outsourced his own job to a Chinese subcontractor and was spending all his work time playing around on the internet. The firm's telecommunications supplier Verizon was called in after the company set up a basic VPN system with two-factor authentication so staff could work at home. The VPN traffic logs showed a regular series of logins to the company's main server from Shenyang, China.

      Training is an investment in success

      The reality is that implementing software, no matter how good it is, will not deliver the benefits required if the end users are not able to make optimal use of it.

      “When companies implement enterprise applications such as SAP, they pay large amounts for the software, consulting and implementation, but then approach the project in a top-down methodology that focuses on the technical aspects of the task,” explains Steve Hobbs, managing director of Blue Pencil Consulting.

      It’s comforting to know Marc Benioff (CEO of Salesforce) and Bill McDermott (co-CEO of SAP) have “a very good working relationship".

      So, given that everything between the two companies is all lovey-dovey, SAP shouldn’t mind that Benioff says that “SAP’s HR product kind of sucks,” or that SuccessFactors founder and CEO Lars Dalgaard has just killed his company by agreeing to be acquired by SAP. As Benioff put it, “[Lars] had a great company and now it’s gone.”
