Fast forward

Traditional business and commerce has developed a supporting infrastructure over the course of centuries – checks, balances, and essential legal, insurance and certification services. Business in the new, extended Internet enabled enterprise has to establish this robust infrastructure in a much shorter time frame.

Imagine how this future might look, with Active Loss Prevention.

  • Threats with crippling consequences are a fact of life in IT enabled business. Executives now take informed decisions on these new risks and ensure systems are in place to actively manage them.
  • Every eBusiness transaction, from mail to major contracts, is backed by internationally accepted verification related to the value and risk. 
  • No-one does business without it. Certified transactions have a clear assignment of liabilities and can be backed by new forms of insurance.
  • An aircraft maker used to take 4 weeks and 20 specialists to audit eBusiness security with strategic suppliers. Now it takes 2 weeks and 2 experts backed by industrial strength certification of critical processes and links with constant monitoring of events.
  • eStorage Vaults are widely used. They provide the same security and access for data, records and evidence as costly, inconvenient paper storage, for years after its capture.

After getting over the upheaval firms report major and often unexpected benefits:

  • Business opportunities have grown
  • Costs and disruption have been reduced
  • The human energy and cost released can now be spent on new business opportunities.
