Implementation challenges
Tight timescales– Wanted go-live before next year-end
All new technology
No Oracle expertise
Complex requirements & structure– HO, Depots, relationship of depots to customers

Why security was important
Very complex depot relationships– 1:1, 1:Many, Many:1 relationships– Segregation of duties– Time / effort / costs to resolve– Audit
Had to perform substantive audits– Compliance audits not possible– Time-consuming (costly)
