The Informational and Security Underpinning of IMOS
The Data Center is the informational and security underpinning of the IMOS system. Changes made here are automatically updated throughout the other modules. By reducing manual input, this module greatly increases efficiency and accuracy throughout your operations.
The IMOS security system is designed to protect data and prevent unauthorized access to the IMOS environment. The system takes a multi-tiered approach. Rights are defined for individual users and groups of users. Privileges may be assigned for each modular component of IMOS and for objects such as vessels, companies, datasets, and pools.
The Data Center resides within the company office network. If outside access is required, Citrix or Terminal Server may be used to allow for a secure external connection.
The Data Center is divided into 6 key areas:
- Address Book
- Contact Information
- Communications information
- Banking details
- Internal customer information
- Individual contact information
- Cargo Names Groups
- Specific cargo information
- Grouped cargoes for easy identification and analysis
