Knowledge Infuser

October 17, 2007

 

Couldn't have scripted this better based on this mornings post.

 

 

Another laptop stolen with 10,000 employees information on it from a regional manager of Home Depot.  It was in his car with this data and stolen.

 

 

Do your managers have employee's human capital, HR and talent management data on it?  Might be time to hand out a "where to park your car safely" handbook - (just kidding).

 

 

As part of the Knowledge Infusion's strategy work with clients, data processes such as this HAVE TO BE addressed.  Please keep this in mind during vendor evaluations and continue your move towards web services vs. data feeds.  PLEASE

 

 

Another infusion of knowledge...

Another laptop disappearance, more employee data missing!

 

One of the things that Knowledge Infusion works with its enterprise clients around is helping them understand the maturity of the On Demand and Software as a Service market. Organizations are continually concerned about their data being and that causing major employee issues.  These issues get exacerbated when looking at global data because of data privacy issues.

 

 

This morning, news of another laptop being stolen from Administaff. Last week, The Gap - this week Administaff.

 

 

HR should be thinking about how its computers (locally) are being guarded since most organizations download data into Microsoft products with no security which makes data theft quite easy.

 

 

Keep this in mind if your organization downloads data of any kind from systems, whether on premise or off premise. The issue is probably not going to be the software vendor, but probably the people that manage your facilities and how laptops and desktops are secured.
