COVER STORY
It’s also about the ongoing management
as well. Being part of the BeyondTrust
Advisory Council gives me the inside
track into how the business is doing,
how much time and effort it is investing
into making sure this product is the best
it possibly can be. So it’s probably a
mixture of all those things.
Is the good customer relationship
something you have had
throughout the entire process?
We continue to have a close relationship
with the team which really helps. That’s
part of it – that personal standpoint. We
have talked to them about investing in
partnership programmes and they have a
real passion for making the product better.

Your strategy is ‘kill complexity’
– about how simplicity is the
best approach. How does the
BeyondTrust solution support
that approach?
It just does so many of the activities that
we need. A product which will do many
facets and help solve many problems
you’ve got rather than a tactical single
point solution will help kill complexity.
Compliance with industry
regulations is important for you
– how does the solution support
you to maintain compliance?
Compliance is table stakes. You have
to be compliant with certain regulations
to be able to do business in certain
areas. The tool helps us identify which
areas it’s necessary to do reporting on
and makes it easy for us to understand

exactly what level of compliance we are
currently at and identify any weaknesses
or development areas for us to work on.
How has the technology
increased efficiency?
Part of my mantra is ‘create time’ – it’s one
of my strategic guidelines and by having a
tool which is as effective as BeyondTrust it
allows you to achieve your goal at a faster
rate. It means you are constantly finding
efficiencies in your day to day activity
because you can get there faster.
How would you summarise the
main benefits of the solution for
your business?
The BeyondTrust solution is an all-
encompassing, one-stop solution for a lot
of the necessary security activities that
we have to do on a day-to-day basis. It
is well put together, it’s well architected
and it’s well researched and well-tested,
therefore it works well. u
