How do you avoid reducing implemented IAM programs to yet another element in your IT operations? The nature of IAM is pervasive and has the potential to: Enable your business strategy Improve your risk management posture Increase your productivity and process agility Unlike many IT projects that solely aim to achieve a specific business objective, IAM can deliver additional value beyond its initial scope as new opportunities arise. IAM programs should be viewed as an ongoing practice rather than a technology. Careful planning is required to optimize the outcome from the investment. IAM will impact people, processes, and technology across an organization, providing benefits in multiple areas such as enabling business strategy, improving risk management, and increasing productivity and process agility.

On May 6th, Jens Fossum (Sales guy), Vivek Krishna (Supply Chain) Irene Kvalheim all went to Larvik for Nasta AS long awaited Go-Live. Here is Irene Kvalheim report of the day: In short - it was a fairly calm day with a few issues (either sorted or in progress to be sorted) some confusion and many happy faces😊 Nasta AS is a Norwegian general importer of construction machinery from Hitachi (Japan) and Bell (South Africa), as well as a dealer of Hamm construction rollers. In addition to these main products, the company trades Weber compaction equipment, Esco digger tines, MSB hammers, Fast Fuel diesel filling systems, Engcon, Indexator, SMP and Steelwrist, grippers from Gripen to name quite a few. In short - lots of big and heavy machines! The very short summary of the project is that Columbus has assisted Nasta in their move from Microsoft AX2012 (OnPrem) to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance, Supply Chain Management and Field Service. The main component in the system is a solution from Annata. Annata handles the processes that plan the preparation and completion of the various machines and their post-delivery follow-up. Field Service and Mobile Mechanic are important pieces in streamlining the day-to-day work for Nasta's work force. Nasta will continue to use ExFlow for invoices (AP) and has selected LaserNet for documents (including sending invoices). Power Platform has been used to create apps for customer & vendor creation, document handling and a sales app has also been created. Our Data & AI team also created a report and made data available. And last but not least, a LOT of data has been migrated - some less willing than others. Huge thanks to all that have been involved. I will only highlight the ones that helped complete the project since I do not have a complete record of all of those involved in prior phases - sorry!
