Data protection
The variety and complexity of IT applications make it difficult to maintain an overview, but one thing is certain: more and more data is being generated, enabling almost limitless monitoring of performance and behavior. At the same time, IT is a powerful tool for rationalization. The more data is processed abroad, the more employees’ personal rights are at risk. Outsourcing and cloud computing are on the agenda today. It is therefore important to maintain an overview:
- Which IT components are used in the company, in the business, in the organization?
- What data is processed in the system and who has access to it?
- Which evaluations are made and to whom are they made available?
- How does IT affect work processes and workplaces?
SAP
SAP is the market leader in business management software. Whether purchasing, sales, warehouse management, production, accounting, controlling or human resources – there are SAP programs for all key areas and business processes in a company or administration that electronically map and support the associated tasks. The more extensive SAP components are used, the more data is generated, the more extensive performance and behavior monitoring is possible and the more important data protection becomes.
Today, the SAP world is undergoing rapid change. While co-determination committees still have to deal with issues such as employee data protection, performance and behavior monitoring and process changes, the technical cornerstones are changing with the new SAP 4/HANA database. The new SAP 4/HANA generation is already being used by the first companies and organizations. In addition, business processes are frequently being outsourced to the cloud. In addition, the European General Data Protection Regulation has also changed the legal framework for the use of such software systems.
