To store business critical data for finance, human resource operations, learning management, administration, business compliance, information technology and all other core services, we built the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system to integrate the core functionalities into a single system.
The integrated solution combines all business processes into one system. It is easily accessible by the organization’s users across the globe, on various platforms.
Security testingGlobal access to an integrated system, with variation in the networks and operating systems, and across all devices, always poses a security threat. To overcome the security threats in the system, we conducted cross-platform security testing using a risk-based approach, and by prioritizing security assessments based on the top vulnerabilities.
Implementation
To achieve process efficiencies, a team of experts across different areas of the business decided on the methodology and approach to implement the ERP system.
The team created an integrated data model to standardize the employee process across the organization, and streamline the internal processes.

The technology and tools we used to build the ERP system included:
Programming Language : C# (.Net platform)
Web Server : Internet Information Services 7.5 (IIS)
Database Server : Microsoft SQL (MSSQL) server
Test Management Tool : Testlink
Defect Management Tool : JIRA
Performance Testing Tools : J-Meter, Appium Studio
Security Testing Tools : IBM AppScan, Burp Suite, Wireshark, NMap, Sqlmap, Tamper Data, Netcat
