Managing Information Systems’ Risk
Organizations everywhere increasingly depend on information systems to accelerate their core business. Everything from finance, communications, human resources and payroll to customer relations, decision-making and manufacturing can come to a virtual standstill if information systems fail. And they do, in various ways. With millions of lines of code from different vendors interacting, information systems acting in unison are some of the most complex engineering projects of the business world. On top of that, businesses customize systems to fit their unique requirements. With all this complexity comes a risk. But risks can be managed by employing precise solutions. With huge experience in information systems, EPI-USE Labs has developed risk management services to help executive teams measure and manage information systems’ risk.
