Loading data into and extracting data from the SAP Business Suite is a critical activity that drives key business processes and decisions. To become more operationally efficient, hundreds of companies have selected Winshuttle's products to reduce costs and improve data timeliness and quality. However, such powerful tools require the use of proper controls, security and workflows. Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) best practices require complete traceability of SAP data entry into and data downloading from SAP. In addition, a common deployment and collaboration framework can make an enterprise-wide deployment of these tools much easier to manage. This is where eSHUTTLE comes in.
eSHUTTLE provides centralized visibility and governance for enterprise deployments of Winshuttle solutions. This not only enables companies to share files and best practices across the organization, but also addresses the organization's requirements for specific controls and audit trails to meet SOX and corporate governance policies.
eSHUTTLE delivers controls, security and traceability to enable enterprises to deploy Winshuttle's data solutions, such as transactionSHUTTLE and runSHUTTLE, across the organization. In addition to using the standard SAP controls and security profiles, eSHUTTLE provides additional governance and control for the interaction of Winshuttle's products with the SAP Business Suite. eSHUTTLE provides this functionality using the Microsoft SharePoint WSS framework, providing native integration to Microsoft technologies including Active Directory, Excel, and Access. eSHUTTLE provides the ideal integration and control point between the Winshuttle, SAP and Microsoft products.
