Driving ROI: The Business Case for an Alarm Management/Patient Safety Solution with Ascom

Contributed by Ascom

An alarm management / patient safety solution can bring business and operational benefits. Our partners at Ascom partnered with Hobson & Company, a research firm focused on Return on Investment (ROI) studies, to conduct in-depth, one-hour interviews with existing Ascom customers, testing and confirming the sources of value generated by an Ascom solution, and collecting data points to quantify the impact post-Ascom implementation.

The paper finds a reduction in time spent responding to alarms and on alarm data collection and analysis, the number of preventable codes/patient deteriorations and the risk of patient falls. It also concluded that this type of solution can help increase capacity/throughput, improve patient satisfaction ratings and consolidate multi-vendor tools and integration efforts.

How to Launch a Successful Identity Governance Program with GCA

Contributed by GCA

Identity governance programs are designed to ensure least privileged access. Most regulatory compliance entities like PCI and HIPAA specifically include access review controls that need to be met. At scale, this can be a challenge for a variety of reasons. At GCA, we offer a full spectrum of services surrounding these governing controls and in this white paper, we offer deep insight into what it takes to successfully launch an identity governance program.

What is Identity Governance?

Identity governance is relatively straightforward; get the right people to review user access and decide if the access is necessary for the individual to perform their job. If the answer is “yes,” they do need access. If the answer is “no,” the access is removed.

Identity Governance Challenges

The challenge with Identity Governance is not technical—it’s time-based. In the simplest programs, the program manager will be asking hundreds (if not thousands) of people to do additional work. Even if an access review takes only five minutes, that is still five additional minutes being added to already busy schedules. From the start of the project, there will be organizational resistance. It’s natural to put up our guards when more work is being assigned to our plates.

How to Solve Identity Governance Problems

The golden rule in identity governance is to eliminate anything an end-user can complain about. You want to avoid concerns like: Why does this person report to me? I don’t understand what this access grants? How am I supposed to know if this employee needs this application access? I don’t know how to log in. The pages load slowly! This feedback is the enemy of identity governance programs. Each is a small opportunity to complain about the extra work placed on people’s plates. If you can avoid and minimize these types of complaints and questions, your program will be in excellent shape. After all, identity governance is simple and straightforward, as long as IT leaders make it that way.

About Sonatype

The Sonatype journey started 15 years ago, just as the concept of “open source” software development was gaining steam. From their humble beginning as core contributors to Apache Maven, to supporting the world’s largest repository of open source components (Central), to distributing the world’s most popular repository manager (Sonatype Nexus Repository), they’ve played a meaningful role in helping the world embrace the power of open innovation.

Over time, they witnessed the staggering volume and variety of open source libraries that began flowing into every development environment in the world. Sonatype understood that when open source components are properly managed, they provide a tremendous energy for accelerating innovation. Conversely, when unmanaged, open source “gone wild” can lead directly to security vulnerabilities, licensing risks, enormous rework, and waste.

Sonatype’s vision today is simple.

They are laser focused on helping organizations continuously harness all of the good that open source has to offer, without any of the risk. In order to do this, they have invested in knowing more about the quality of open source than anyone else in the world. This investment takes the form of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and human expertise, which in aggregate produces highly curated intelligence that is infused into every Sonatype product. Organizations equipped with Sonatype products make better decisions, innovate faster at scale, and rest comfortably knowing that their applications always consist of the highest quality open source components.
