9. What are the limitations of this software?
With DeltaLink ALTUS, our objective is to deliver a high quality, high value solution with complete and comprehensive coverage and capabilities. Our collaboration with SAP for this cloud based, SAP driven solution was a no brainer from the word go and enables us to respond to the challenges of Human Resource Management in any sector, with the simplicity, efficiency and flexibility that the Software as a Service delivery model is all about, without compromising on our commitment to provide our customers with best of breed HR solutions. The SAP ERP Human Capital Management module is immensely powerful, flexible and scalable, rests on decades of development and innovation, and is used by some of the largest organizations globally (Coca Cola, BMW, British American Tobacco, Kawasaki, eBay, McLaren).
10. What proactive security steps is the HRIS software taking?
There is a significant flexibility in the area of access and security. DeltaLink ALTUS utilizes the SAP authorization concept which dynamically determines what tasks each user can perform, meaning that users can perform only those tasks whose authorizations have been given to them via the roles assigned to them. Security features can be dynamically applied at the level of individual fields, field groupings, and personnel numbers or at a structural level allowing restrictions to be configured at an organizational structure level. This is decided and configured at the setup stage based on the requirements of each organization. Moreover, the delivery and deployment of DeltaLink ALTUS using the Software as a Service model and our collaboration with SAP in creating this offering means that customers can benefit from robustness and security over and above that which we typically observe at data centre’s due to the requirement for a specific SAP Hosting certification. This certification is comprehensive and requires adherence to strict standards which include, but are not limited to:
– Data Centre physical security, infrastructure redundancy and failover testing, perimeter protection, access control, regular audits
– Network and Connectivity
– Managed Backup and Disaster Recovery
