Press Release Summary: Escape Velocity Systems Guards Against Malevolent Data
Tampering According to Manufacturing Journalist TR Cutler

Press Release Body: According to Cutler, "Lean manufacturing principles call for
productivity gains, which are increasingly dependant upon speeding up the flow of
sensitive data throughout the enterprise. As proprietary data is managed through an
ERP (enterprise resource planning) system industrial security requires that this
precious information must be guarded from malicious data tampering."


The new feature article in the current issue of The Machinist authored by
manufacturing journalist, Thomas R. Cutler is titled: "Streamline the security
processes." Cutler discusses how technology solutions can guard malevolent data
tampering and in due course smoothen the data to work impeccably. Here both the
principles of security and safety play a significant role and are to be seen as part
of a lean manufacturing continued process improvement program.


According to Evan Garber, President of Escape Velocity Systems
(www.evs-sw.com) , which specializes in formula-based process manufacturing,
"Advanced auditing and security functionality is not simply preventing unauthorized
data manipulation.risk management, it provides a context for a data management plan
that includes process improvement."

Technology solutions must provide direct security and user accountability for one's
actions along with the ability to manage the ancillary attached data through an
approval, lockdown, and version control process; security also requires efficiency
of electronic document handling. Garber suggests that there are specific questions
that process manufacturing CFO's must be able to answer from ERP reports including:

�� Who are all the people who touched this document and how long were
they working on it?
�� What reasons were provided for making additions, deletions, or
modifications?
�� Did a supervisor approve the changes?
�� What safeguards are in place to ensure that the user, not someone
else, made changes?
