John Ejiofor / October 14, 2019

Your customer is the best asset you have and should be roundly protected from any form of harm. With the unceasing onslaught by cyberattackers on governments, businesses, and individuals, the least you can do is to go to any length to ensure that your customers’ data are safeguarded. A quick recap of some very ugly incidents in 2019, will bring to the front-burner why safeguarding your customers’ data must be your uppermost priority. In May, a surveillance contractor for US Customs and Border Protection suffered a breach, and hackers stole photos of travelers and license plates related to about 100,000 people.  A destructive strain of ransomware called LockerGoga has specifically been victimizing industrial and manufac­turing firms. As if that is not enough, in March, a research report from the threat intelligence firm Kaspersky, says that computer maker Asus disclosed a supply chain attack sometime in the second half of 2018 that had compromised the company’s Live Update tool to push malware to almost 1 million customers.

Adopt The Best Way, Do It With Just-in-time

John Ejiofor / September 11, 2019

Why wouldn’t you want to go for a methodology aimed at reducing flow times for you within the production system and at the same time cut short the long response time you get from contractors and suppliers? That’s what just-in-time (JIT) will do for you if you adopt it, helping you to control variability in your processes and allowing you to increase productivity while lowering costs. The beauty of JIT as an inventory management method is that you don’t need to crap up the whole place with materials, goods, and labor. You schedule the arrival or replenishment of your need to coincide with their time of demand in the production process. Product quality is one area that co-joins the business and the consumer. The consumer wants to have the best of the bests, while the organization does not want wastes to occur especially as regards the rejection of products as a result of poor quality. These are 7 benefits you derive from adopting the JIT method 1. Smooth production flow With the JIT method, you are certain of a uniform production process. Right from the time your raw materials arrive to when you will deliver your products to your consumers,…

John Ejiofor / August 16, 2019

Cyber insurance may sound alien or strange, you won’t be the only one having such a view. You may even frown at anybody who suggests that you go for cyber insurance and you will be right. Insurance policies are, however, not strange to businesses but going for cyber insurance sounds as if we are taking the game too far. But then, you have never thought even in your wildest dreams that you will get to a situation where the fear of cyber threats is the beginning of business wisdom. Even where you want to believe there is no need for cyber insurance, the evidence on the ground completely contradicts any such notion you may be having. Cyber attacks are not in any way relenting and cybercriminals are becoming more sophisticated and tech-savvier  Jeremiah Grossman, founder of WhiteHat Security and organizer of the cyber insurance micro summit Black Hat 2019, said he believes cyber insurance will have “a profound impact on every single one of us, in every single thing that we do in this industry.” This is definitely the reason why the cyber insurance market has experienced a boom in recent years. The bitter truth is that despite the boom…

Why Enterprise Management is a Must For Your Brand

John Ejiofor / June 14, 2019

Enterprise management is one of the modern examples of Enterprise resource planning (ERP). It allows brands to manage vital day-to-day processes such as inventory management, accounting, human resources, and customer relationship management (CRM) to effectively have a competitive edge in the global market. Enterprise management supports how different business components work by distributing information through a shared database. Many ERP software applications have been developed to help companies implement resource planning by integrating all of the processes it needs to run a company with a single system.
