Executive management is asking for a new manufacturing control and workflow automation
solution. This application will facilitate management of proprietary information and closely guarded
corporate trade secrets.
The information security team has been a part of the department meetings and come away with
the following notes:
-Human resources would like complete access to employee data stored in the application. They
would like automated data interchange with the employee management application, a cloud-based
SaaS application.
-Sales is asking for easy order tracking to facilitate feedback to customers.
-Legal is asking for adequate safeguards to protect trade secrets. They are also concerned with
data ownership questions and legal jurisdiction.
-Manufacturing is asking for ease of use. Employees working the assembly line cannot be
bothered with additional steps or overhead. System interaction needs to be quick and easy.
-Quality assurance is concerned about managing the end product and tracking overall
performance of the product being produced. They would like read-only access to the entire
workflow process for monitoring and baselining.
The favored solution is a user friendly software application that would be hosted onsite. It has
extensive ACL functionality, but also has readily available APIs for extensibility. It supports readonly access, kiosk automation, custom fields, and data encryption.

A.
Manufacturing
B.
Legal
C.

D.

E.
