Hei [$Fornamn],

Nå nærmer påsken seg med raske skritt, og alle fortjener en behagelig hyggestund med familie og venner.

Etter påske er det våren som står for tur, og da vil det komme mange spennende aktiviteter og selvfølgelig planlegging av SBN Konferansen 2009, som i år arrangeres i Bergen den 20.-22. oktober.

GOD PÅSKE!

God helg!
Ønsker Aksel Fredrik og Eva-Maria.

NOTIFY OUR CUSTOMERS - SECURITY OF THEIR ENTERPRISE SYSTEMS!

We are writing today to bring to your attention critical information that may directly impact the security of your enterprise, and ask that you give this communication your immediate attention and response by taking a series of recommended action steps outlined below.

Software security remains a critical topic of interest to all customers and to the information technology industry. As you may know, SAP regularly publishes security-related service notes on the SAP Service Marketplace.
These notes are our formal way of notifying our customers of security matters that need attention. We have noticed that the number of customers who access and execute these critical security-related service notes is below our expectation.

Therefore, we would like to draw your attention directly to a selection of security-related service notes which we consider to be especially critical for your systems:

Note 1298160 - Security note: Forbidden program execution possible
Note 1168813 - Security note: Program DISPLAY_FUNC_INCLUDE
Note 1167258 - Security note: Program RS_REPAIR_SOURCE
Note 1304803 – Security note: Changing a transport without authorization

These security-related service notes have already been published on the SAP Service Marketplace. These notes have been designed to be implemented without downtime and, thus, to avoid disruption to your systems and business processes. Please immediately take the following three steps:

• Check whether these security-related service notes are relevant for your systems and if you have already implemented them in all systems. If not, we urge you to do this as quickly as possible to address any
security-related impact to your organization.

• Review other security-related service notes on the SAP Service Marketplace. These notes are crucial for the security of your SAP system. You can find them at http://service.sap.com/securitynotes. Access to this information is restricted to users with a valid SAP customer account in the SAP Service Marketplace.

• Confirm that your internal systems management processes address security-related service notes in the SAP Service Marketplace with appropriate urgency on an ongoing basis. In this instance, customer
implementation of these security-related service notes has shown to be below expectations.

In addition to the security-related service notes, we offer the following proactive security information:

• SAP maintains a wealth of information in the SAP Service Marketplace on security. We urge you to leverage these Security Guides, which can be accessed through this link.

• The SAP EarlyWatch Alert contains security checks including recommendations.

If you have specific questions about the security service offerings of SAP, please contact the SAP Support representative in your country.

Thank you for taking the time to address these key security issues within your organization. We are looking forward to working with you to maintain the security of your SAP system.

Sincerely,

Henning Kagermann
Co-CEO SAP AG
&
Leo Apotheker
Co-CEO SAP AG

Kursbeskrivelser på www.bouvet.no/kurs

Between 1698 and 1720, in the little Italian town of Cremona, Antonio Stradivari produced what are now regarded as the finest instruments in the history of violin-making.

As brilliant a violin-maker he was, Stradivari wasn’t such a great teacher as he did not manage to pass on his skills to his sons, and the prowess of his shop died with him.

How would this relate to the BW world? Imagine you are the Master of Music for the Duke of Milan, and you’re buying violins for the orchestra. The orchestra is the BW system you are responsible for, the Duke is your CIO, and the violins are your data flows and reports.

Stradivari is one of the external consultants providing you with instruments. You’re all very happy with the situation until Stradivari decides to sell his services to your evil competitors in Rome or Venice. Since Stradivari wasn’t all that keen on documentation, you are left with an orchestra with a couple of great violins that you cannot reproduce, and are difficult to maintain.

The Duke is not happy, which usually leads to the shortening of your long-term future.

In today’s BW world, maybe you’re developing all your BW solutions yourselves, but more realistically you’re employing the services of consultants. And usually, you’re dealing with several firms, some good, some not so good, and all with slightly different approaches to solution design, build, and documentation.

What you really need is to keep control over what all these consultants are delivering, and make sure that you will not be left out in the cold if the knowledge of your solutions disappears when your consultants decide to move to greener shores (like France).

This is also true of your internal resources, even if they are hopefully less prone to leaving you.

And you do that by defining development and documentation standards that your consultants and internal team members have to comply to.
