Why 4PS chooses 2-Controlware
In this partner testimonial, Bert Verbeek, MVP and Technical Solution Architect at 4PS, explains why they choose to work with 2-Controlware. "Our customers often have complex authorisation management needs. 2-Controlware's solutions provide exactly the additional functionality needed to meet these challenges while ensuring a high level of security and compliance."
"We offer a standard permission set in 4PS Construct, which allows users to perform certain functions based on their profile, such as booking purchase invoices or creating purchase orders. For smaller organisations, this is often sufficient, but with larger clients, often starting from around 100 users, we often see specific authorisation needs that go beyond the basic options of our standard permissions set. Think of clear function segregation or setting up a tree structure at complex construction companies, where sometimes hundreds of companies are managed in one database. Our focus is entirely on the construction, civil engineering and installation industry, where authorisation management is often a project in itself.Fully building this functionality into our 4PS software would take years and is outside our core business. That is why we work with 2-Controlware's Authorisation Box and Field Validation app."
Efficient authorization management for complex structures
Bert Verbeek explains that 2-Controlware is recommended as standard for their larger or more complex customer implementations. Especially for large construction customers with multi-company structures, spread across multiple tenants and countries, these tools simplify authorisation management. This not only increases efficiency, but also strengthens the functionality of 4PS' software solutions.
Moreover, it is crucial for customers to be able to demonstrate during audits that segregation of duties is properly implemented. With 2-Controlware's tools, customers can get an overview of the tree structure at the touch of a button, which helps with compliance and meeting audit requirements.
2-Controlware's solutions provide the additional functionalities customers need, allowing 4PS to immediately meet the requirements around segregation of duties in tenders.
This also offers great benefits for the end customer. For example, one of 4PS's major construction customers told us about a significant gain in time thanks to 2-Controlware's Authorisation Box: "For us, it saves at least 1 to 1.5 FTEs. There are sometimes as many as 300 companies in a database - if you then have to put someone in or out of service manually, it is hugely labour-intensive."
Currently, 26 major construction customers of 4PS, with a total of some 700 to 800 users, work with 2-Controlware's Authorisation Box. In addition, the Field Validation app is also used by several customers. The collaboration with 2-Controlware offers additional functionalities that perfectly complement 4PS' software and strengthens compliance during audits. It gives customers easy insight into their authorisation structures and segregation of duties, saving them considerable time.
Strong cooperation
Bert Verbeek emphasises that the cooperation between 4PS and 2-Controlware runs smoothly and efficiently. Thanks to the strong relationship, both parties can switch quickly and any problems are solved quickly. For 4PS, it is important that 2-Controlware not only supports the management of authorisations, but also their refinement and monitoring. He states that 2-Controlware's solutions are of great interest to their customers.
