Re: Security questions

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Oliver, you've hit the exact problem - there is a need to have access to 
data for ad hoc reporting, by qualified persons. I don't know the other 
products as well as ours, so I will only say that we have a mechanism that 
controls access on a group profile-like concept. Setup is quite simple - 
simpler than some of the others, I believe. We think of it as not only 
closing down access but also opening up access in a safe manner to those 
who should have it.

Sorry for the commercial - I hope this is a direct response to a member's 
question.

Trials are available - check out our site at

Any of the tools are probably cost-effective over the time to create your 
own - depends on your workload, obviously.
