How does SAP NS2
address the challenges
of highly regulated
environments through
the deployment of SAP
Business Network?
Our customers purchase and manufacture items related to national
security. Supply chain dependent organizations need to protect their
procurement assets because this is the centerpiece of their success.
SAP Business Network through SAP NS2 deployment allows customers
to strengthen their organizational operations and engage supplier
partners. Highly regulated customers store sensitive information that
requires additional security compliance to mitigate internal and
external risk. The innovation, functionality, and services of the SAP
Business Network solutions remain the same, but SAP NS2 brings
extended value regarding how the solution is protected and managed.
SAP Business Network through SAP NS2 deployment combines
procurement planning and collaboration with extensive practices
dedicated to data access, residency, and sovereignty.
