We are Orca Systems partner, software for your productivity
Introduction
Where do we come from and why is shadow it a threat to your business
While conducting data discovery for data privacy and governance projects, we often find unofficial use of technology and software within organizations, not managed by the IT department. This "shadow IT" can lead to security, compliance, and governance issues, as it involves unauthorized use of IT systems, devices, software, and services.

Typical use cases
Situations we encounter on a regular basis
Replacement and migration of desktop databases such as MS Access, Excel and the data included therein
These solutions are often unmanaged standalone solutions within business units (no backups, housekeeping or IT support). As a result, data cannot be integrated into a company-wide data governance model. Moreover desktop databases or Excel spreadsheets are silos, so data cannot be shared or easily distributed. Data protection is not supported. There is no way to securely use data stored on a personal basis in anonymized or pseudonymized form. Data quality is not sufficient.
1.
Creation of new or improvement of existing B2B portals to offer customized services to business partners
Time-to-market is usually a challenge as the time window for development after signing the B2B contract is very short. Data cannot be easily integrated into a company-wide data governance model. The level of automation is usually low due to the lack of full integration into the core systems. Lack of data quality leads to manual rework. The degree of user-friendliness and personalization is usually low.
2.
The management of purchased 2nd or 3rd party data that is not available in a suitable data model
Data sets are not in a data model and cannot be easily used, searched or even accessed via the user interface or database queries Data cannot be integrated into an organization-wide data governance model Data cannot be shared or easily distributed
