Lawson Security 9 represents a robust improvement over LAUA. The benefits include significantly enhanced capabilities, streamlined maintenance and robust reporting. However, the transition from LAUA to LS 9 can be a challenging undertaking and can entail a considerable effort if not planned and executed properly. The key to a successful security migration is to invest the time up front to fully gather security requirements and design the right model to ensure that benefits are maximized and efforts associated with building, testing and implementation are minimized.
Attendees will learn Best Practices for each phase of an LS 9 roll-out including Best Practices: Design, Build, Testing and Implementation. The presentation will also explain why one of the most common mistakes made in security migrations is converting existing LAUA classes without taking the time to understand if the existing security configuration is the right one.
Transitioning to Lawson’s new security is the ideal time to re-evaluate your organization’s security needs. Learn how to take advantage of this opportunity.
