Computers control almost everything related to our everyday lives. The industry is constantly advancing at lightning speed. The citizens of the world struggle to keep up. With new technology being introduced literally everyday and more and more companies are turning towards technology to run their businesses. This means that there are people needed to work in conjunction with computers and businesses to make this work.

Security is a word you hear associated with computers everyday. Since many companies are keeping sensitive business information in data bases, someone needs to secure this information and oversee those who have access to it.

SAP is multi national software development company, and business consulting firm located in Germany. SAP offers software applications and support to businesses of all sizes. This means that when a company decides to use SAP software, to run its business, SAP takes over the entire business operation. SAP software such as SAP R/3 can take weeks for a business to implement. Some companies choose to move over to this software in a process that can take years.

Once a company is using this software, all of that company's information is stored on one data base. All communication and work done for that company is done within that system. Users can login remotely and access information and complete tasks.

This of course creates a problem. How does one secure a system with that much information on it? This creates a position for a person to secure the SAP system.

This person will grant users access to the system at whatever level he or she chooses.
